UCSF is a world-class research medical university and is among the top colleges and universities in the United States when it comes to fundraising. Their previous site was outdated and difficult to use, which resulted in low online donations. The foundation desperately needed a new site with a more agile content management system that elegantly displayed new stories inspiring potential donors. Over a two-year collaborative process, we worked closely with USCF Foundation to create a digital strategy to cultivate stronger relationships with former students, patients, and families. We delivered a contemporary website based on an open-source software that’s flexible, easy to use, and attracting more viewership.
