Reimagining what it means to support a nonprofit taking on homelessness

The Challenge

Community Service Alliance (CSA), a faith-based nonprofit organization in Northeast Ohio, needed a more strategic and impactful way to engage donors and supporters in their mission to combat homelessness. The goal was to build a charitable venturing strategy that aligned with their vision of offering safe, sober living environments and helping individuals rebuild their lives. CSA required a refined brand vision, a peer-to-peer fundraising platform, and a user-friendly giving portal to drive engagement and support.

The Outcome

Mileage Design worked with CSA to redefine their brand identity and create a streamlined, responsive website. We developed a giving platform and a peer-to-peer fundraising dashboard, allowing supporters to easily donate and run personal fundraising campaigns. This cohesive brand and digital strategy helped CSA strengthen its connection with donors and expand their reach.

The new giving platform and fundraising tools resulted in a significant increase in donations, including $15,000 in additional contributions following an initial $5,000 donation from The Connor Foundation. These upgrades have empowered CSA to grow its support base and make a bigger impact on the community.

Mileage Design’s involvement with Community Service Alliance went beyond simple branding. We used our expertise in web design, development, and management to create an engaging and easy-to-navigate website that allows CSA to better serve its community. By focusing on user experience (UX) and responsive design, we ensured that CSA’s website is accessible across all devices, making it easier for supporters to engage and donate. The private peer-to-peer fundraising platform gives donors a personal way to connect with CSA’s mission and expand its reach through social networks.

Additionally, Mileage Design continues to provide website management services to keep the platform secure and up-to-date, ensuring that CSA’s mission is always supported by the best digital tools available.
