Create and Edit a Community Contribution

Community contributions are a type of voluntary contribution your company can make to the local community. They are aimed at addressing specific situations in the short term and generate results that can easily be perceived by the community benefiting from them.

They are usually made for money or for goods and/or services which can then have a monetary value attributed to them.

They can either be created manually in the Community contributions register or automatically through the Online Contribution Request Interface and edited afterwards.
