Website Construction (CMS-Based)
Website Construction (CMS-Based)
Project details
What we need
- Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
- Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
- Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
- We recently completed a website audit project, and now have a list of recommendations for making the new site more user-friendly and interactive. We are also working on creating brand standards and have a faithful team of volunteers willing to give input as we design the new site.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to launch our Finances 101 Toolkit project, providing online support to 20000 young adult cancer survivors.
The SAMFund website desperately needs a facelift. While some of the content is informative and compelling, it doesn't "pop" in the way we want it to. Having a new look, more stories and pictures and better usability will both attract new donors and also provide better support to our young adult cancer survivor community.

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.

Testimonials
We LOVE our new website, which wouldn't have been possible without Sean's skill, dedication, and patience. We began the project in the midst of a rebrand and hired a new staff member during that time, which meant that there were a few unanticipated changes along the way. But Sean remained very attentive and responsive, and was always willing to answer questions and make changes. We were lucky to work with him!
