      Can I use FPF for my business or nonprofit?

      FPF is pleased to provide a platform to help local organizations reach their customers. Please go to the following links for general information on our Business and Nonprofit Plans:

      If you're ready to sign up for a Business / Nonprofit Plan, here's how to get started:

      Option 1:  Add a new business or nonprofit profile to your existing account.

      This option is best if you want to use your FPF account and email to post both as a private individual and on behalf of your business or nonprofit.

      1. Go to FrontPorchForum.com and (if you are not logged in) click Login.
      2. Once logged in, click (or tap) the triple bar symbol (☰) at the top right and select "My Account."
      3. On your Account page, scroll down and click “Add Business Profile” or “Add Nonprofit Profile.”
      4. Enter your business or nonprofit's name, description, website, and phone number, and pick one or more categories that best fit.
      5. Be sure the "Include my business in the FPF Directory" option is checked! And if you want a map of your organization's location to show up on your listing, check the "Show my street address in the FPF Directory" option as well.
      6. Follow the prompts to create the profile.
      7. Return to your Account page, and click "Upgrade" next to "Profile Plan Tier" for info on free and paid options.
      8. Select the best FPF Plan for you.

      Option 2:  Create a new account with a different email address.

      This option is best if you prefer to post on behalf of your business or nonprofit using a different email address than you use for your personal postings.

      1. Go to FrontPorchForum.com, log out (if already logged in), select "Business" or "Nonprofit," and enter the primary street address of the organization, and follow the prompts.
      2. Enter your business or nonprofit's name, description, website, and phone number, and pick one or more categories that best fit.
      3. Be sure the "Include my business in the FPF Directory" option is checked! And if you want a map of your business or nonprofit to show up on your listing, check the "Show my street address in the FPF Directory" option as well.
      4. Click "Create your Account."
      5. Check your inbox for your confirmation email message, and click the link in the message.
      6. Log into your new FPF member account.
      7. Once logged in, click on your name / email at the top.
      8. On your Account page, scroll down and click "Upgrade" next to "Profile Plan Tier" for info on free and paid options.
      9. Select the best FPF Plan for you.
