3. Select the Find friends tab.
4. Add a friend in one of two ways:
   1. Select Invite friends to invite your friends to join Charitable Impact via email or share the invitation link. They can accept your friend request once they have created an Impact Account.
   2. Or, find and add friends who already have an Impact Account by searching for their name in the search box and selecting Add friend.

   3. Add someone who isn't a contact: If you haven't enabled access to your phone's contacts, or if you want to invite someone who isn't yet a contact, you can invite them through email or text by selecting the Invite through email or text message button at the bottom of the screen.
