OpenAid is a Drupal distribution developed for non-profit and aid organizations to showcase their work. While originally developed in partnership with humanitarian aid organizations, we've found that the need for a feature-rich website that goes beyond the typical brochure site is a pressing one for organizations spanning the non-profit spectrum.

We'll discuss the ways we've partnered with groups from high profile organizations such as The New Climate Economy and K4Health to a grassroots housing rights network in helping them establish a strong web presence.

There is a large swath of organizations doing good in the world who are suffering from a sort of middle-child syndrome, too small to justify the budget required to work with many web shops, yet too large for a free, simple website to do its work justice. We've found that OpenAid is a way to offer these organizations a website with the features their work warrants: project mapping, image galleries, and a resource library.

The session will specifically cover

the impact moving from a limited website to OpenAid has on an organization's work
how the image gallery, project mapping, and resource library features meet a common need for organizations
the process we used in working with a specific grassroots organization to help drive forward the redesign and development of OpenAid 2.0
