1. Beneath the map box you will see the Cards of all the programs that meet your search criteria. Cards are in order of proximity to your location, (Local > Regional > National), and relevance to your keyword. Keywords can populate from Program Name, description, or category.
2. Above the Cards is the Pin Map. This map is a visual guide for a Program's proximity to you. Reference the map legend to quickly identify pins by color.
3. Filters provide extra criteria that may be suitable for your search. You may select as many or as few as you would like and the Cards will change if a Program meets or does not meet the selected criteria.
Program Cards
The Card displays the Program's name, a brief description, and an overview of services available. Clicking or tapping the Program’s name will take you to the full listing which provides tips, eligibility criteria, the Program's physical location (if applicable), website, phone number, Charity Navigator and/or GuideStar links (if applicable) and point of contact. Clicking the Send Email button will open your default email client and prefill the Program's contact email address, if one is provided.
Pin Map
The Pin Map displays visually the proximity of the Program to the location you provided. If no location is provided, the map will default to the location of the first search result.
- Direct Matches are programs that fit both your search criteria and location.
- Regional Matches are programs that fit your search criteria and are within the same state.
- National Matches are either programs that serve nationally OR fit your search criteria but are outside the state searched within.
Filters
Filters allow you to tailor your search results better to you. Selecting filters applicable to you will change the Cards to the Programs with eligibility criteria that match your filter. If you would like to view all Programs regardless of eligibility criteria, you may clear all selected filters.
