Welcome to the Pledge 1% Community! We're delighted to have you here and have created this post to help you get the most out of your community experience.
The Pledge 1% Community is a safe online space where social impact leaders can share insights, discuss best practices, engage as thought-leaders, drive trending topics, and inspire one another to achieve their goals. You'll find quality resources to help get your initiatives started, leverage your assets for good and create a momentum of change.
We'll use this Community Welcome forum to keep you updated on the latest features, activities, and fun here on the Pledge 1% Community Platform. Review the steps below and start your journey as a Pledge 1% Community member.
Your First Steps as a Pledge 1% Community Member :
1. Review the Community Guidelines
Our mission is to work together with you to grow the Pledge 1% movement. We’ll accomplish that by collaborating, sharing experiences, and building side-by-side here in the community. Please review the Community Guidelines for our best practices on engagement before getting started.
2. Get Started as a Pledge 1% Member
Just took the Pledge, but not sure how to get started on your program? Make sure to walk through the Pledge 1% Onboarding where we'll help you think through your journey, from creating a program that fits your business to announcing it to the world.
3. Take the Pledge Today
Here as a Guest exploring how your company can join the Pledge 1% Movement? Review why your organization should take the Pledge, how you can gain executive buy-in.
4. Introduce Yourself
Once you have your profile setup you'll want to let the community know you're here and break the ice with an introduction. Let us know why you joined, what causes your passionate about, or what initiatives your company are currently working on.
