Website User Interface (UI)
Project details
What we need
- Overhaul of the UI on the Organization's existing website, or UI design for a new website
- Clear map of website’s structure with wireframes to accompany the layout; wireframes may include homepage, content navigation page and content presentation templates
- Flowcharts or specifications for the interactive features of the website
Additional details
Just to be a bit more specific-- this UI request is specifically for this online tool, which we envision to be "choose your own adventure"-style (not for our entire website). Users will be prompted with questions and then directed to appropriate content.
What we have in place
- We have our website, created and maintained using WordPress. We have a clear goal in mind for the Toolkit. We have a dedicated Program Assistant who will be the staff contact and partner throughout the project. We have expert-provided content ready to share with the community. We have over a decade of experience listening to and learning from the young adult cancer community. We have a clear vision of what we need to do to help. We have a chance for you, our volunteer, to play a key part in making this vision a reality.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,946 , allowing us to pay monthly rent for 10 young adult cancer survivors.
This project, Finances 101: A Toolkit for Young Adults With Cancer, is essential to our population. For over a decade we've heard from young adults who face life-altering financial and healthcare decisions with little or no information, and then deal with the consequences for years. The Toolkit will provide tailored, user-specific, and useful information to young adults during critical times in their cancer experience so they can make decisions that won't put them at a financial disadvantage post-treatment. Cancer can cost a lot in many ways. Our goal is to lessen the financial impact through effective, accessible education.

Our mission
The Samfund is designed to help young adults recover from the financial impact of cancer treatment.
What we do
The Samfund currently provides three programs to help young adults get back on their feet after treatment:
1. Direct financial assistance: since 2005, close to $1.5 million in grants has been awarded to young adults across the country, covering a wide range of needs including living expenses, medical expenses, mental and physical health and wellness, family-building, and many more.
2. Online support: The Samfund hosts a free Webinar series called "Moving Forward With Your Financial Health," designed to provide concrete and reliable information and resources surrounding a range of practical and financial issues, including employment, insurance, medical debt and more. Webinar presentations are made by financial professionals as well as representatives from other cancer organizations.
3. Finances 101: A toolkit for young adults with cancer: Launched at the end of 2014, this new program is designed to help young adults make better-informed financial decisions during and after cancer treatment so that their financial recovery doesn't become a lifelong struggle. The toolkit is currently comprised of blog posts and Webinars on selected topics, and we are currently in the process of designing an interactive decision-making tool that will be housed on our website.
Through these programs, The Samfund helps young adults get back on their feet so that they can move forward towards their goals.
