Create your organization

Set up your account, create your organization, and find your way around the dashboard

​

Create your account

1. Sign up

   Go to app.mirage.partners and sign up with your email address or Google account.

2. Land on the welcome screen

   New accounts without an organization are guided to create one. If you were invited to an existing organization by email, follow the link in your invitation instead; you’ll join that organization directly. See Team & field reporters.

   If your email domain matches an organization already on Mirage, the welcome screen offers to request an invite from them instead, a quick way to avoid setting up a duplicate organization for the same nonprofit.

​

Create the organization

From the welcome screen (or New organization in the dashboard), fill in your organization profile:

• Name: how your organization appears everywhere in Mirage, including donor-facing pages.
• Description: a short summary of your mission.
• Website, location, and contact details: email and phone for your organization.
• Logo and cover image: optional, but they make your dashboard and donor-facing pages feel like yours.

The person who creates the organization automatically becomes its first steward. You can update any of these details later from your organization’s Settings page.

​

Finding your way around

Once your organization exists, its dashboard is home base:

The organization overview: getting-started checklist, headline stats, and your projects.

Area	What you’ll find
Dashboard	Project cards, headline metrics, and verification status at a glance.
Projects	Create and manage impact initiatives. See Creating projects.
People	Team members, email invitations, and reporter invite codes. See Team & field reporters.
Approvals	The review queue for incoming field reports. See Reviewing reports.
Donations	A running ledger of money received from donors, grants, and matches.

Organization-level Settings (profile and verification) and Plans & billing live behind a Settings button in the Dashboard header rather than the main sidebar.

Each sidebar item shows a small badge when something needs your attention: a dot for items you must act on, a number for unread updates. On the page itself, updates appear as dismissible cards near the top: a new team member joining, a verification result, or a report ready for review.

​

Multiple organizations

One account can belong to several organizations (useful for consultants, network organizations, or fiscal sponsors). Use the organization switcher in the sidebar to move between them; each organization’s projects, people, and billing are fully separate.

Getting-started checklist for a brand-new organization: create a project, invite reporters, and submit your verification documents. The Quickstart covers the first two; Verification covers the third.
