We welcome candidates who can can provide additional expertise and guidance on this project. Most importantly, we are seeking someone who truly understands and shares our dedication to .

Audiences (in order of priority)

New and existing individual and corporate donors and grantmaking organizations looking for information about Courageous Women Association, seeking to make an online donation, or doing research into the credibility and effectiveness of our organization.
New and existing volunteers and partners looking for information about how to get involved, both generally and in support of specific annual events.
Social-services staffmembers and individuals experiencing domestic violence, homelessness, and other diversity, seeking information about our services and programs. (Although this is our core constituency much of the communication is done offline, which is why this audience is our third priority.)


New Website Objectives (In order of priority)

Increase volume of online donations through inspiring content, seamless donation experience, and best fundraising practices.
Capture site visitors’ contact information through subscription mechanism.

Create a site that non-technically-savvy volunteers can easily maintain and update and that will not quickly become dated over time.


New Website Wish List

Uniqueness. Although we understand the benefit of templated website builders, we don’t want to look like every other boring nonprofit website out there. We are an organization run by bold, creative, empowered women making a difference, and our website should convey our organization’s unique personality.
Video. We love video and are very pleased with the brand video recently produced by a group of talented volunteers, and would like to make this and future video efforts central to our web presence.
E-commerce. We would love to incorporate a more sophisticated version of our "Courage Shop" (see existing website) as well as a way to host an online "silent auction" in conjunction with future fundraising events. However, we would need help finding a solution that is easy to administer and has a low transaction cost.
Forms. We would love to provide our clients the ability to apply to and/or register for our programs.


Volunteering with us

The volunteer website designer-builder can expect to work on this project in collaboration with our executive director, a volunteer marketing specialist, and other volunteers. We are tremendously grateful to the talented professionals who donate their time and expertise to our organization, and we are confident the right individual will find this project personally rewarding. As an all-volunteer organization, we hold ourselves and our partners to the same high standards of integrity, timeliness and follow-through as we would expect of paid employees and consultants.

Time for Change Foundation is a nonprofit whose mission is to empower disenfranchised low-income individuals and families by building evidence-based programs and housing to create self-sufficiency and thriving communities. We hold our Annual Awards Gala to highlight the success of the homeless women and children we serve while celebrating the accomplishments of our organization and our community partners who have played a huge role in helping to create healthy, productive communities.

Our three main goals of the event are:
• Fundraise – our goal is to raise $100,000 to support our housing and supportive service program that will help to support 50 homeless families for a one-year period, creating healthier communities and eliminating homelessness.
• Acknowledge community members that have made an impact – we know that we do not do this work alone. By acknowledging, others that have helped along the way we get to share the enthusiasm of making a difference.
• Celebrate- The milestones that women were able achieve over the last year and how we, together can continue to help the community around us.

Sponsorship dollars will be put towards our fundraising goal in support of homeless women and children. The success of the event will be measured by reaching our total fundraising goal of $100,000 and by the number of guests who attend the event and learn how Time for Change Foundation works to help empower women to change their lives for the better.

The sponsorship will benefit the community by investing in the lives of women and children who can make an impact on others who have similar struggles as they once did and encourage them to stand for change.
