Using the New Website: Tips and Guidance

Learn more about how to use our new website, including how to:

  • Activate your account and log in
  • Become a member or renew your membership
  • Register for a program
  • View the online Directory of Maine Grantmakers

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at mpc@mainephilanthropy.org! We appreciate your patience and grace as we work to answer any questions in a timely manner. 

Activate your account and log in

Each person using the site will need to activate their own individual user account to log into this site in order to register for programs, access member-only benefits, submit job posts, and make purchases on our site. Your individual user account is linked to your email.

  • If you are a member of MPC or have previously created a user account on our old site, head to our Activate User page and enter your email address there. The website will then email you an activation link with instructions. (If you don't see this email come through, be sure to check your spam folder.)
  • If you are not a member of MPC and did not have a user account on our previous website, you will need to create a new account.

Activating and logging in to your account will give you access to register for events and post jobs. If you are a member of MPC, you will also be able to access member-only resources like the Directory of Maine Grantmakers and receive member rates for events and other purchases.

Register for a program

New program registration process: on any of our programs, enter your email address in the field on the left of the program page and click the Register Now button. If your account is eligible to register for the program, you will be able to select a registration available for you to add to your cart and begin the checkout process. Members who are logged in can also select their colleagues to register.

Many programs require you to be logged in first. If you need help logging in, see the steps above or reach out for support.
