For admins
If you run a Circle, the admin dashboard is your home base — set the look, rally members, and show the world your community's kindness.
Branding your Circle
A Circle is a private, branded community for a university, school, workplace, or local group. From Settings → Branding you set the Circle's name, logo, and brand colours — the reference Circle is FGCU, the Florida Gulf Coast University "Eagles." Those colours flow through the member app and the public embed widget, so everything stays on-brand without anyone touching code.
Announcements
Announcements pin a message to the top of every member's Circle screen — perfect for kicking off a challenge, thanking a sponsor, or sharing an event. Write one from Announcements in the dashboard, choose how long it runs, and it appears for everyone in the Circle.
Keep announcements short and time-boxed. A single clear call to action — "Log a kind act before Friday for the Earth Week challenge" — lands far better than a wall of text.
Members
The Members screen lists everyone in your Circle and lets you invite more. Private Circles (workplaces, schools) can require a verified email domain or an invite link; admins can bulk-invite by email or CSV. You can also promote another member to admin from the Admin-users screen.
The embed widget
Drop a live, read-only kindness widget onto any website to show your Circle's acts and totals in real time. Configure what it shows from the dashboard, then paste a single snippet — developers can find the embed code and the full API in the Developers reference.
