Your Account Balance

There are now Four ways to check your account balance:

1. Keep track on your Dashboard (requires you to input manually each gift as you learn who gave what amount)
2. Wait for the MK2MK bi-weekly update (this only reflects what MK2MK has received from you but also includes credit card and account transfers)
3. Pester your coach for a weekly update (same as above)
4. Set up an automated TnT (for CCC staff parents only features automatic updates from donation services)

Your Dashboard

We have realized that the Dashboard only keeps track of what is inputted into it (names, addresses, gift amounts). We had thought that this information would be received from Donation Services and uploaded to your Dashboard.  Unfortunately, this is not the case. So the only way for the Goal Progress Bar to work is if the gift amounts are inputted individually by the user - you.

This tool is still a good way to track each potential supporter and where you are in the process of following them up.  We ask that you use this tool as it will also save you the effort of reporting to your coach and your parents as well.

The following is step by step instructions for setting up and using your own Dashboard (if you have not already).

Use of the Dashboard

GO to http://mpd.uscm.org

• register using the SAME e-mail address and password you chose for your MK2MK project application.
• If you have forgotten your password, click on “Forgot Your Password?” and answer the question you chose for security to reset your password.

You then will go to the dashboard page and can begin.  It is a logical process and clearly marked.

   • If your letter isn’t done, click which template you would like to use for printing your letter.

4. Write Your letter
