Faith in Action is a national community organizing network dedicated to advancing racial and economic justice across the United States. As a faith-based organization, they unite people from diverse religious traditions to work collaboratively on pressing social justice issues including immigration reform, healthcare access, criminal justice reform, and economic equality. Their visual identity features a distinctive blue color scheme with a recognizable logo that appears prominently throughout the mobile application.
Faith in Action was managing their community engagement through multiple disconnected platforms:
1. Facebook groups for sharing updates, articles, opinions, and event invitations
2. Eventbrite for meeting management
3. GoFundMe for fundraising initiatives
This fragmented approach created friction for both organizers and members, making it difficult to maintain cohesive community engagement and track participation across different platforms. They needed a unified solution that would streamline their operations while offering a subscription-based membership model ($5/month, $10/month, and $15/month) with tiered access based on engagement levels.
To create a unified mobile platform that strengthens Faith in Action's community engagement by consolidating their fragmented digital presence into a single, intuitive application.
1. Creating a centralized social hub where members can connect, share content, and mobilize without switching between multiple platforms.
2. Developing an accessible resource library that organizes educational materials and event information based on membership level.
3. Implementing seamless donation and e-commerce features that strengthen financial support while promoting the organization's cause.
4. Establishing a membership system that enhances community identity and clearly articulates the value of different engagement tiers.
As the sole designer on this project, I took a comprehensive approach to creating an intuitive and engaging mobile experience.
The community feed serves as the central hub for member interaction and engagement within the Faith in Action network.
Feed displays posts from organization members with engagement metrics like likes and comments. Admin badges and location tags (National/Local) help users identify official communications, creating transparent information flow across the organization.
This interface provides content control through a simple menu system. Members can view profiles, hide content, edit posts, or delete material, ensuring community standards while offering necessary moderation tools.
The engagement screen facilitates conversations through comments and reactions. The comment prompt encourages participation, while the threaded structure maintains context in discussions, building stronger community connections.
The profile screen showcases membership information including join date, contact details, and organizational role. The branded header reinforces identity, while membership badges highlight involvement level within the community.
The post creation features enable members to share diverse media types and gather community input through an intuitive publishing interface.
The post creation interface enables members to share text and media with the community. Users can add photos directly from their camera, access their gallery, or schedule posts for future publication, offering flexible content creation options.
The poll creation screen allows members to gather community opinions through interactive voting. Users can add multiple options with the convenient "Add" button, helping organizers quickly gauge sentiment on important issues and drive community engagement.
This interface streamlines the process of creating fundraising requests within the community feed. Members can add a donation link and supporting content, enabling grassroots fundraising directly within the social experience rather than using external platforms.
The scheduling calendar provides precise control over when content appears in the community feed. Members can select specific dates and times, allowing organizations to plan communication campaigns while ensuring timely delivery of important information.
The app provides clear visual indicators of content status, keeping users informed throughout the publishing process while maintaining a consistent interface design.
