How Are Users, Profiles, and Donations Managed Across Parent and Chapter Accounts?
Users
When creating a new chapter in Blackbaud Verified Network, all active Nonprofit Administrators for the parent organization will automatically become Administrators of the chapter. Users can be added and removed from the chapter similar to how the parent is managed.
Tip: Administrators and Managers added to a specific chapter only have access to that chapter's details. They do not have access to the parent's account.
Nonprofit Profiles
The chapter's Nonprofit Profile automatically inherits the parent's information - including name, description, tags, and logo. With the exception of the logo, these can be customized when creating the chapter. The image used for the logo can be updated after the chapter request has been approved.
Note: For more information, see Add Chapter Organizations.
Donations
The disbursement of donations will be handled by the parent organization and not by chapters.
Vetting, Compliance, and Eligibility
If a chapter doesn't have its own registration or tax ID (such as an EIN) on file, it inherits the following from the parent organization for public search, giving, and vetting purposes:
-
Eligible for Giving status
-
Compliance and affiliations responses - these are copied from the parent and marked as inherited, so it's clear the chapter didn't submit its own
Note: A chapter can still have its own Display Address, separate from the parent's registered address, even while inheriting the parent's other registration and eligibility details. For more information, see Add Chapter Organizations.
