<p>
Changemaker Direct is PDC’s standardized template that allows changemakers to share core organizational profile and program data. <p>
This is the fastest way to: <p>
<ul>
<li>establish your organization’s record in Exchange</li>
<li>reduce duplicative data requests over time</li>
<li>ensure your information is accurate and up to date</li></div><div id="field_4_19" class="gfield gfield--type-html gfield--input-type-html gfield--width-full gfield_html gfield_html_formatted gfield_no_follows_desc field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible" >Please download the csv file and use it to help us load your data into PDC. <p>
Template Instructions:<p>
<ul>
<li>Fill out as many fields as you are able </li>
<li>Leave blank anything you don’t have available or do not want to share </li>
<li>Return the completed template to the PDC team</ii>
</ul></div><div id="field_4_20" class="gfield gfield--type-section gfield--input-type-section gsection field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible" ><h3 class="gsection_title">STEP 4: Additional Data Upload</h3></div><div id="field_4_22" class="gfield gfield--type-html gfield--input-type-html gfield--width-full gfield_html gfield_html_formatted gfield_no_follows_desc field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible" >Changemaker Direct includes the core baseline fields needed to get started. However, some organizations choose to contribute additional information beyond the template.
<p>
To support that, we are also sharing: <br>
<ul>
<li>PDC Base Fields List link</li>
<li>PDC Data Categories Reference </li>
</ul>
<p>
These resources outline the broader set of data types that Exchange can support, such as:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Expanded organizational details</li>
<li>Project or initiative information</li>
<li>Partnerships and collaborations </li>
<li>Outcomes and impact framing </li>
</ul>

PDC Onboarding Guide: Changemakers
STEP 1: Primary Contact Identification
STEP 2: User Access Setup
Exchange uses secure authentication to provide your staff with access. PDC prefers to connect to your existing identity management systems to use existing multi-factor authentication instead of creating a new setup for each user.
To provision your account, we first need to confirm:
STEP 3: Initial Data Upload
What is Changemaker Direct?
Changemaker Direct is PDC’s standardized template that allows changemakers to share core organizational profile and program data.
This is the fastest way to:
- establish your organization’s record in Exchange
- reduce duplicative data requests over time
- ensure your information is accurate and up to date
Please download the csv file and use it to help us load your data into PDC.
Template Instructions:
- Fill out as many fields as you are able
- Leave blank anything you don’t have available or do not want to share
- Return the completed template to the PDC team
STEP 4: Additional Data Upload
Changemaker Direct includes the core baseline fields needed to get started. However, some organizations choose to contribute additional information beyond the template.
To support that, we are also sharing:
- PDC Base Fields List link
- PDC Data Categories Reference
These resources outline the broader set of data types that Exchange can support, such as:
- Expanded organizational details
- Project or initiative information
- Partnerships and collaborations
- Outcomes and impact framing
