# Welcome to Advocate!

Advocate is a software platform designed to help nonprofits connect people in need to those who can help by leveraging the power of direct sponsorship! Check out our documentation to learn more about this powerful platform and how to use it well! ### Before you begin... There are four types of primary user functions within Advocate: * [Organization Users](https://docs.advocatewithus.com/organization-users) * [Program Administrators](https://docs.advocatewithus.com/program-administrators) * [Recipients](https://docs.advocatewithus.com/recipients) * [Donors](https://docs.advocatewithus.com/donors) While a user has the ability to be an Administrator, Recipient, and Donor within Advocate at any given time, our documentation is organized around these user functions, so make sure you have a sense of what role you are before consulting the documentation for the quickest solutions! ### Choose what user function you are looking for!
