Email Alerts
Relevant listings waiting for you in your inbox everyday.

What are Email Alerts?
Email alerts are an easy way to find all of the listings on Idealist that you might be interested in. In your profile, you can decide which listings you want emailed to you ("Environmental events in Portland" or "Grantwriting jobs in Mumbai", for instance). Once you've decided, any time an organization or group posts something that matches your criteria you'll receive an email that day. If there are multiple listings posted that match your criteria, they'll all show up in one email, instead of separate emails for each listing.
