Introducing GDCentral, GivingData's New Community Platform

At GivingData, we understand the importance of providing not just a grants management software, but an engaging learning environment where our community can thrive. That's why we're thrilled to introduce GDCentral as a pivotal component of ensuring our clients’ continued success with the GivingData platform. 

What is GDCentral? It's a comprehensive hub where you can access resources, connect with fellow GivingData users and partners, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments. Here are some key highlights of the GDCentral launch.

All-in-One Hub: Out of the gate, GDCentral consolidates all GivingData resources into one convenient location, including community forums, our Knowledge Base, events, and important announcements.

Seamless Transition: All existing members have been imported, and resetting passwords is easy. Plus, accessing GDCentral directly from GivingData ensures a seamless experience.

Data Migration: We've successfully migrated nearly all data and attachments from our previous community, ensuring that valuable conversations and information are preserved. Our robust search functionality makes finding what you need effortless.

Continuous Enhancement: Our commitment to making GDCentral as robust as possible doesn't stop at launch. Throughout 2024, we'll be continuously refining and expanding GDCentral to ensure it remains a dynamic and valuable resource for our community.

At this stage, GDCentral is packed with features designed to facilitate learning, collaboration, and growth. Some features, like events and announcements, are open to everyone even if you’re not a GivingData client.

Here are some of the features GivingData clients can expect at launch:

Knowledge Base: Access technical training through how-to articles and short-form video instruction. Look out for an updated Knowledge Base coming this summer.

Introductions: Share information about yourself and connect with other members.

Discussions: Post questions, share solutions, and exchange ideas with fellow GivingData clients.

Industry Job Listings: Explore professional opportunities within the philanthropy sector.

Product Release Notes: Stay informed about the latest GivingData features and updates.

GivingData Events: Discover upcoming in-person events, webinars, and training sessions.

Client Education Webinars: Sign up for quarterly webinars focused on product training and updates.

As we roll out GDCentral, we have exciting plans for its future:

Summer 2024: Look out for an updated Knowledge Base with new content categories and instructional videos.

Winter 2024: We'll be introducing supplementary GivingData courses to support your independent learning.

We're incredibly excited about the collaborative and enriching experience that GDCentral will bring to the GivingData community. If you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
