Nonprofit & Foundation Websites

Small nonprofits rarely have a web person. The Burt Foundation grants about $250,000 a year to childhood education, and its director keeps the site current herself.

Every section is locked, so she changes words and images without moving anything. The board roster lays itself out for however many people are on it.

Discovery at Burt turned up an operations problem more than a design one. Applications were split across reviewers by hand, there was no scoring rubric, and ineligible organizations got all the way to a decision.

So we built a grant portal alongside the site. Letters of inquiry come first, reviewers score against a rubric, and the director runs a whole cycle in one dashboard.

HOSS distributes hygiene kits through partner clinics that already have brands of their own. So its identity is a set of colorways that sits next to any partner’s logo without fighting it.
