Create a project for each service you provide:

If you provide the same type of service in different locations - and as a result, work with different clients in each location,
- make each location’s version of that service its own project
- and make the top-level service a Project Category
A project can only be part of one Project Category
But when it comes to reporting to funders, you can create Albums which group multiple projects together.
- A project can be part of several albums
- This means you have the flexibility to report on different areas of work to different stakeholders without needing to have duplicate projects.

You can use the Projects per Project Category tab of the Blueprints spreadsheet to map your organisation's projects.

Example scenarios

Organisations that provide different services within the same location

An organisation provides several services within a city:

How it will be set up on Makerble

Each of the above services will exist as its own Project.
Makerble automatically creates a default Project Category within each organisation.
The default Project Category is called “Project”; so all of the above projects will sit within the “Project” project category.

An organisation provides two services across the country:

1-2-1 therapy through a network of therapy clinics in various cities
accredited training courses for trainee therapists, delivered online and in-person

How it will be set up on Makerble

The organisation will have two Project Categories:

Under each Project Category will be each of the locations where that Service is delivered, i.e.

within the 1-2-1 therapy Project Category there will be the following Projects
- 1-2-1 therapy Birmingham
- 1-2-1 therapy London
- 1-2-1 therapy Oxford
- 1-2-1 therapy Newcastle
within the Accredited training courses Project Category there will be the following Projects
- Accredited training Birmingham
- 1Accredited training London
