Description
Georgia's nonprofit services face an issue of discoverability. While many nonprofits have the resources to help their community members succeed, they have trouble actually connecting to members of the community that need their support. Connecting with these resources is challenging for community members because their avenues of communication are spread across the internet. Some have their own websites, some have a Facebook page where they post events, some rely on word of mouth and fliers, and others rely on phone chains to keep their community members informed. This means that community members seeking support need to be able to access all these separate services. Allies Connect aims consolidate some of these communication methods by creating a website where all of Georgia's nonprofit services can host their community information, and events. Allies connect provides easy access to a visual map that displays all resources and community events in an area, and allows users to easily find and contact the resources they need. Additionally, Allies Connect features a robust volunteer management system that allows other community members to get involved and support others in their community.
