About Tags

Tags are an easy way to sort your constituents into groups based on the interests, preferences and special attributes that set them apart. You may have constituents that are major donors, prospect donors, volunteers, board members, event attendees, interested in a particular program, etc. Tags help you organize your constituents into groups that share similar characteristics.

A tag is an identifier, a one or two-word phrase that you add to a constituent's profile in order to distinguish them from other constituents.
