Benefits: why have Active Participants?

  • Make your contacts Active Participants when you want to

    • spark agency among your contacts

    • inspire your contacts to take action themselves to achieve outcomes

    • create a community of practice where contacts can provide each other with peer-to-peer support, encouragement and where appropriate, friendly competition in a safe environment moderated by you.

What are Active Participants?

On Makerble you have colleagues and contacts.

  • Contacts are usually a project’s beneficiaries - i.e. the people being supported

    • sometimes they might also be referral partners, signposting partners, funders.

  • Colleagues are usually your staff and volunteers

Billing: how you pay for Active Participants

  • By default a contact is simply a record and a contact cannot login

  • When you make a contact an Active Participant, they can now login to Makerble

  • Participant Credits allow your Active Participants to login and use Makerble.

  • Each Participant Credit gives an Active Participant access to 1 project for 1 month

  • For example, an Active Participant with access to e.g. 3 projects for e.g. 6 months, would use 18 Participant Credits

  • You can purchase additional Participant Credits by emailing billing@makerble.com
