Intros
Tell us who your work needs, and people who fit arrive. You approve every note before it goes.
Intros is a membership feature: tell Collective who your work needs (a board member who knows finance, volunteers who speak Spanish, a corporate partner) and people who fit arrive in your portal as Collective finds them.
Who shows up
- Only people who chose to be found by organizations.
- Never their email address, and never the name of another organization they work with.
Introductions
When someone fits, Collective drafts a short note in your voice. You approve every note before it goes. Collective sends it, says it came through Collective, and gives the person a one-tap way to stop.
Three introductions a day come with membership; each one after that uses a credit. A note with no answer after seven days reads No answer.
Limits that protect people
- At most three notes a week reach any one person, and at most one first note a day across every organization.
- No notes during quiet hours.
- Anyone who asks to stop is never written to again.
