Volunteering for Coronavirus Relief Efforts

PUSH IF WINNIPEG LINK ISN'T CERT

Fundraising for the Coronavirus pandemic has been vital over the last few weeks and months --- but volunteering is also critically needed in many of our communities. Many United Ways across the world are organizing volunteer efforts for their communities, and engaging their community partners on every level possible to help those in need. Several of our customers have developed concentrated volunteering websites, especially for COVID-19 relief.

United Way Winnipeg and Metro United Way have utilized Andar’s e-Volunteer module to focus those who want to give back personally, and are leveraging the power of caring people in their communities. Visit their sites to see what they have done. We are proud of you!

What is this CAPTCHA thing anyway?

I am not a robot!You've seen it before, the dreaded CAPTCHA test. Sometimes it's really difficult to tell what those squiggly letters are meant to be, and sStreet Signsometimes it is hard to tell if it's a street sign or a billboard! What if all of the squares are street signs?? If the test is too hard for me, am I a ROBOT??

A CAPTCHA test is a really important security feature to help protect your database from being flooded with data from other computers called 'Robots' or 'bots.'  These computers scan websites for fillable forms and submit false information. Since a computer is filling out the form, it can potentially submit hundreds of forms in a very short amount of time; filling your database with useless data quickly. 

CAPTCHA means: Completely Automated Public Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart - It is meant to confuse a 'bot' by creating a situation where the computer cannot parse the information presented like the human brain can. With the CAPTCHA in place the 'bot' cannot complete the form - keeping your database clean and safe!

Recently, we've added a feature called reCAPTCHA that uses the latest CAPTCHA technology. Check out this page for setup instructions or give us a call for assistance.
