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.
