The Objective
The objective of the project was to create a search platform that could help connect people in need with resources in their community.
Our client came to us with a preliminary wireframe. Our product team helped define features, which we then designed, developed, tested, and released.
Key Features
- Search experience with advanced filtering: Users can search for organizations using keywords and filtering by causes, services, populations served, location, and opening hours.
- Map view: Users can browse nonprofit organizations on a map to discover which are close to them.
- Saving nonprofit pages: Users can save and manage their favorite organizations to keep them bookmarked for future reference.
- Organization page management: Nonprofits can create or claim their profile page to keep their organization's information up to date.
- Search alerts: Users can create and manage alerts based on keywords and filtered searches.
The Results
We launched the MVP for beta testing and will be releasing to nonprofits soon.
