We were thrilled to have the opportunity to design and launch a new website for the Airdrie & District Community Foundation, following their recognition as the 2022 TrailBlazer recipient for new branding. This project aligned perfectly with their mission and marked an exciting milestone in their journey as a growing organization.

The Airdrie & District Community Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to building a permanent financial legacy to support the community—now and forever. Founded in 2016 with an initial $10,000 investment, the foundation has impressively grown to over $1 million in assets, a testament to the generosity of donors and the foundation’s commitment to lasting community impact investments.

Project Goals

The foundation needed a website that reflected their refreshed branding while serving as an informative and engaging platform for donors, community members, and nonprofit organizations. The primary goals included:

• Showcasing Community Impact: Highlighting the tangible results of the foundation’s work through stories, grant initiatives, and the nonprofits they’ve supported.
• Simplifying the Donor Experience: Providing clear, practical guidance on how individuals and organizations can contribute to the foundation, whether through donations, planned giving, or endowments.
• Supporting Grant Applications: Offering accessible resources and information for nonprofits seeking grants to support local initiatives.
• Promoting Awareness: Sharing updates, success stories, and educational content to inspire and inform the community.

Website Design and Feel

The new website embodies a positive, family-friendly, and timeless aesthetic, reflecting the foundation’s core values and appeal to diverse audiences. The design balances warmth and professionalism, incorporating elements such as:

• Visual Storytelling: Featuring vibrant imagery and engaging stories that connect visitors to the community impact of donations and grants.
• Streamlined Navigation: Ensuring users can easily find key information, from donation options to grant application details.
• Responsive Design: Making the site accessible across devices, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.

Moving Forward

This website serves as a critical tool for the foundation to expand its reach, inspire giving, and strengthen its connection with the community. We are proud to have been part of this transformative project, supporting the Airdrie & District Community Foundation in their mission to build a lasting legacy for future generations.
