Q: Who can be listed?

A: If you are a non-profit or charity organization, you are almost certainly welcome and encouraged to add your listings to northshoreport.org. You don't need 501c3 status to be listed, you can be a small community group.

If you are a Nazi or otherwise obviously evil, you are not welcome to add yourself.

If you are a for-profit group and you provide reduced cost or free services ordinarily provided by non-profit groups, you might be welcome to add your listing. For example immigration lawyers, home health care aides and mental health counselors.

If your exclusive purpose is to turn a profit by providing a reasonable service at a reasonable price, you are probably not eligible to be listed. For example if you rent tents, sell cars, provide lock smithing services.

If you're interested in sponsoring our free directory (northshoreport.org), please contact info@northshoreport.org. Sponsors will get their logo displayed on the northshoreport.org website as well as a link listed on each results page.

Q: Why register your agency and its programs with northshoreport.org?

A: Two important reasons are:

  • Help people who need your services find you
  • Help other human service professionals learn about you

Q: How long will this take?

A: About 15-20 minutes total - approximately 10 minutes to tell us about your agency, and 5-10 minutes to tell us about each program your agency offers. Agencies must provide at least one program.

Q: What's the catch?

A: We can't think of one:

  • Registration is free.
  • We won't ever sell your information to anyone, or try to sell you anything.
  • We may occassionally email you a friendly reminder if/when your information ever goes too long without an update (maybe twice a year).

Q: Why do I need to create both an Agency record and Program record(s)?

A: Your Agency record contains general information about your organization. A Program record contains more detailed information about a specific service your agency offers. When you submit a Program record form, you're also asked to select categories to describe it (i.e. "child health care", "handicapped housing", "credit counseling", etc.).

The Agency record and the Program record correspond to the two searches the directory users can conduct, ("Agency Name Searches" and "Program Category Searches"). Directory users often prefer the latter, since they generally want to describe their needs in their search terms. So it's crucial you provide adequate Program record(s), and categorize them well.

If your agency provides only one service, then you'll need to create only one program record. However, there is no limit on the number of programs an agency can submit.

In general, separating your distinct services into multiple programs is helpful because it provides directory users with more relevant search results.

Q: What if I am having trouble identifying which categories I should select for my program(s)?

A: contact us, leaving your name and contact number, and we will call to assist you in selecting the categories that relate to your program(s).

Q: How can I change my password?

A: If you need a password reminder sent to you, click here. If you want to change your password you must contact us directly.
