The Rowley Family Foundation is an organization with a specific amount of funds it awards each year to charities of its choice, which required identity and website design.
The site was focused around sharing the foundation's mission statement, while taking in donations, requests for financial aid, and discussing the past disbursements of those funds. This allowed for a paired down footprint that emphasized the most salient aspects of the site.
While fully funded on its own, it was necessary to design a series of checkout pages in case users wanted to donate money to the foundation, for future designation to charities. Optionality was built into the process for donors to select the amount of their donation and which type of charity the money was allotted to.
The entire purpose for the foundation is to gift money to charities which fall under the purview of its mission statement. To that end, one of the most important functions the site needed to have was a lengthy grant application form for users to fill out and submit. A link to this could be found in the navigation bar and also various hyperlinks in the body copy of the site's pages.
The form itself consists of basic contact information and also descriptions of the applicant's work, impact and needs, in order to determine the validity and relevance of their request to the foundation's goals.
The "About" page of the site contained background on the origins of the foundation, and a grid of recipients of past disbursements of money to charities. Synopses of each with their logos and links to their own websites were featured here.
