Groups & Teams
Groups & Teams
Organize your staff, volunteers, and board members into groups and teams for streamlined management and collaboration. The Groups & Teams feature in People Hub is the central place to manage how people are organized within your nonprofit.
What Are Groups & Teams?
Groups and teams help you organize people by function, department, project, or any other criteria that makes sense for your organization:
- Groups: Broad categories like "Staff", "Volunteers", "Board Members", or "Donors"
- Teams: Specific working groups like "Finance Committee", "Event Volunteers", or "Program Staff"
Creating Groups & Teams

- Click "Create Group" or "Create Team"
- Enter a name and description
- Add members by searching for existing people or inviting new ones
