Features and stories
How your posts become stories people near you read, and how featuring works.
Collective reads what your organization posts and writes the newsworthy parts up as stories: a headline, a short deck and the story in plain words, credited to you. Stories appear on Home, in Collections and on your Profile.
Review and corrections
Collective writes and checks every story, and for now a person on our team reviews each one before it goes out. If a story gets something wrong, correct it or turn it off from your portal.
Featured by Collective
- A week featured, free: every organization gets one week when its stories go out to people near it.
- Features, for members: twice a month, your stories go out to people near you for a week.
- The Weekly: every Thursday, Featured by Collective brings the week’s featured organizations to subscribers’ inboxes.
Collections
A Collection gathers organizations around one idea. People can give to everyone in a Collection at once, split evenly or by their own choice.
