The discover page can hold a lot of opportunities, so filters and search help you narrow down to exactly what you're looking for. This article covers the filters available, how to combine them, and a handy new way to share a filtered view.
The filters available
On the discover page you can filter opportunities by (this is the order they appear in on the home page):
Date - choose a start date and end date to filter opportunities to a date range. This is the first filter on the home page.
Location - country, city
Type - Volunteering, Learning, Funding, In-kind donation (coming soon).
Skills - the skills an opportunity calls for.
Causes - the impact area.
Beneficiary Groups - who the work benefits.
Directorate - filter by the directorate that hosts the opportunity. When you select a directorate, a Team filter opens beneath it, so you can narrow down to opportunities posted by a specific team. (Directorate and Team are dynamic and use your app's own terminology - for example Region, Area or Branch - so the labels you see may differ.)
Initiative - filter by the initiative the opportunity belongs to.
Combining filters and searching
You can apply several filters at once to refine your results - for example, remote Volunteering opportunities in a particular cause area. Use the search box to find opportunities by keyword in the title. To start over, use Clear all to reset every filter.
Sharing a filtered view
When you apply a Type filter, the page's web address (URL) updates to include it. That means you can:
Copy the link and share it, so the recipient lands on the same filtered view.
Bookmark it to return to your filtered list later.
Refresh the page without losing the filter, and use your browser's back and forward buttons as you'd expect.
📝 Note: Currently the Type filter is the one that syncs to the URL. Other filters may follow in future releases.
