How can you help me as a philanthropist find new pro-social projects?
As an accepted Patron you have access to all of the projects listed. Not only can you browse through all of the projects, you can search for them as well. Search criteria allow you to search for projects based on category, need as well as full string keyword matching.

Once you have found projects and Artists that meet your interests you can save them in easy to access lists for later use.

How can I become a Patron? Can anybody become a Patron?
To become a Patron you must fill out an application. Once we receive your application we will contact you personally and verify your information. We do this to ensure that all of our Patrons are serious in their desire and passion to find and nurture young talent.

If everything checks out you will be admitted to the website where you can begin finding projects that match your interest.

I want to be able to search your projects, but I don't want anybody contacting me. How do you prevent this from happening?
Registered Patrons control the release of their identity and contact information to artists. You may allow guests, Artists, Patrons, or users on a case-by-case basis to view your profile information. Only the people who you want to see your information will be able to contact you.

I am a busy person and I don't have time to search for new projects on a daily basis. How do you make finding projects easy for me?
As a registered Patron you will be able to create automatic search Agents that run everyday and email you their findings. If you are interested in projects involving animals and don't want to check the website everyday, you can setup a specific animal search which will email you daily if there are any new projects added.

What is a Preferred Project?
A Preferred Project is a project that has been chosen by our staff for being of superior quality.

Once we select a project that we like we contact the Artist who has created the project. We speak with him or her directly and find out their level of committment and to get the ideas straight from their mouth.

If we like what we see and hear we make their project a Preferred Project and it comes to bear the Preferred Project badge of honor.
