Simply navigate to the Contact Form, and scroll down to the ‘share a resource’ form.

Fill out the form, and be sure to include accurate information and allow us to publish it. Your resource can be provided via a website link, and it can also be submitted with an attached PDF, or both, depending on your specific resource. It will then be reviewed, and if approved, added to our Resource Library, included in our e-blast to nearly 2,000 leaders, and shared via our social media platforms.

If you would like to create a page on forbesfunds.org/events/ – skip the top ‘Event Link’ and fill in the ‘More Info’ link to your event registration form, Zoom registration, or similar. Below it, add a short (less than 5 words) call to action text. This will then show up as a button on the page (it will default to a More Information button)

Next, include your event’s date and time and relevant options as listed. If you want to share a note with prospective event attendees, add it in the ‘Notes on the time’ field

Be sure to include the cost under ‘Event Cost’ (enter 0 if it is free)
