Email Notifications Sent

When the application is finalized and submitted by a charity, two emails are sent. You can edit the subject, copy and from-address for those emails in the system email section, accessed by logging in and clicking on ADMIN, MANAGE EMAIL and then SYSTEM EMAIL. When the system is first installed, these emails may need to be added (use the add button). If no email is added, it will be automatically added when it is first used.

  • Membership Application Notification -- email sent to notify CHC that an application has been submitted. To receive this email, edit it, select a group and add yourself to that group.
  • Membership Application Auto Responder -- email sent to the person who completed the application.

Complete Application

When a member is done with their application and all sections of the form are complete, they will see the button SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR REVIEW. When they click that all sections of the application will be marked as completed, in the STATUS tab of the ORGANIZATION APPLICATIONS record for that charity.

A CHC Administrator will then review the application by logging in and going to http://portal.healthcharities.org/application. Under select your charity, select the charity you wish to review from the drop down. In the administrator green box select Membership Application Export, select the state you want to export, and check the box next to "email results when completed" if you are having trouble with the report timing out. Once the download is complete, you can review the export record by importing results into a spreadsheet. Once this is complete, the next time you log in as an administrator and go to the "http://portal.healthcharities.org/application" page and select that charity that you just exported, a Complete This Application button will replace the line that says “This application has been submitted and is waiting to be exported for review.”


Completing this step copies application fields and records (listed below) to the charity record. If the charity record is missing when the application is completed, a new charity record will be created.
