Category Content: Hide/Show Other Organizations

Can our organization by default prevent the needs of new organizations that register with Meet The Need from showing up on our web site?


Yes. Under Settings if you click Hide/Show Other Organizations under Select Needs to Display on Your Website, if you set the Default Need Visibility to Not Visible then new organizations registering with Meet The Need will automatically be set to Hidden on this page and their needs will not appear when you show all local needs.

If you have set the Default Need Visibility to Visible but wish to prevent the needs of certain organizations from appearing on your web site, we recommend occasionally reviewing the list of organizations who have joined Meet The Need in your area in the past 5 days, past 15 days, etc. using the Joined any Time drop down on this page.

Can I prevent members or employees from “joining” certain local organizations through our web site?

Yes. Go to Settings and click Hide/Show Other Organizations under Select Needs to Display on Your Website. If you check the box to Prevent Members from Joining Hidden Ministries then the names of the organizations you “hid” on this page will not appear on the list of local organizations your members/employees can connect with through their Personal Dashboards. Therefore your members/employees will not be able to “join” those organizations through your web site to see their needs and get email updates when those organizations post new needs.

Can I prevent the needs of certain organizations from showing up on my web site?

Yes. Go to Settings and click Hide/Show Other Organizations under Select Needs to Display on Your Website. This feature is available to churches and companies only. This allows each church or company to focus its members/employees on the needs of the charities or churches they work with.  Key Contacts can Make Visible or Make Hidden the needs of other churches or charities from their main search page by clicking the link next to each organization’s name. Clicking Make Hidden means that organization’s needs cannot under any circumstances be seen on your web site template. This page lists every church and charity active in Meet The Need within 25 miles of your zip code (may be extended beyond 25 miles). You can search organizations by name, by type, by newly registered, and by Visible or Hidden.
