Add an organization listing by clicking the "Add an Organization" link under the "Contribute" menu in the top left navigation or the "Create" link in a group's organizations module.
Check database for existing entries by typing in the organization name and clicking the "Add / Check Database" button. If the organization is in the directory already, you may want to update the information there. If not, you can proceed to create a new listing. |

- You may also want to take the organization's logo to insert into the About section of the organization page (see Step 3)
