Using the concept of a newspaper, the Nonprofit News section is a community update tool. Nonprofits can use this area to let the community and funders know what is going on in their programs.

This is a brief overview of how to submit a community update to epa.net.

1. Begin by clicking the link on the main page navigation bar marked "Nonprofit News".
2. You will see a list of current updates from other groups.
3. Below these updates, there will be a link marked "Create a news item".
4. Clicking this link will take you to the area for posting your content.
5. Type the title of your post in the first box marked "Title".
6. Then, you are ready to enter your update in the box marked body.
7. Type your message in plain text or basic html. (see HTML Instructions above).
8. If you included html, change the text "format", located below the body text box, to html before selecting the "Preview" button. (i.e. The text is formatted asPlain TextHTML)
9. Click the "Preview" button. If the post looks ok, click the "Confirm" button at the bottom.
10. 10. If the message does not look correct, click the back button at the top of your browser and edit the message. Be sure to check your HTML Tags. Posting in plain text may cause text to display off the screen and to the right. We recommend using a minimum of the paragraph tags (<P> your paragraph </P>) to make sure your text displays properly. Then repeat steps 8 and 9 until the message looks correct. You are done!

Only approved EPA nonprofits will be allowed to post here. The content manager will review the post. The content manager will then approve the update post, contact you if there are problems, or delete the update if it is not in line with our acceptable use policies.
