Background

Impacc is a non-profit that believes that jobs are the best way out of poverty. They help build green start-ups in Africa - empowering them as producers, artisans, business leaders, retailers etc.

Impacc’s new approach to development aid involves:

1. Scouting promising local ventures with a focus on sustainable businesses that create local & long-term jobs
2. Investing in ventures with the help of corporate donors to provide the financial aid to scale the business
3. Mentorship and support

‍

Brief

I was brought in to help with part 2; redesigning core elements of the web platform that connects corporate donors to the right sustainable ventures and showcases the impact they’re creating together. The experience needed to support 3 core goals for donors:

1. Connect with sustainable ventures that align with their business and they can support effectively.
2. Understand the impact they are having with their donations for ESG/CSR reporting
3. See the progress of individual ventures and create compelling stories to share publicly and to engage employees.

Solution

Venture Selection Tool

An interactive tool that helps corporate donors build a portfolio of ventures based on the Sustainable Development Goals they want to support and their company profile. This helps facilitate a conversation between Impacc and the donor to match them with ventures that are the right fit.

Platform homepage & Venture pages

‍A redesigned dashboard and individual venture pages that showcase the impact that corporates are having with their donations and see the inspiring stories of the ventures they're supporting to share with employees and customers.

‍Prototyping & Design system

I also prototyped the full journey to test the new ideas with donors. I also prepared a visual design system to support the development process.
