Grant Search Tool
Grant Search Tool is a minimum viable product website used to help non-profits connect to grant opportunities and each other. A filterable search function allows for easy navigation of available grants. The reviews and rating feature allows for non-profits to communicate with one another on the ease of application and additional comments regarding the grant.
Overview:
Using the Human-Centered Design Thinking process, this was MVP project assigned to our team at Moms Can & Co's Moms Can Code School training program. Our assignment was to create a product that solved a problem of a real business who's target audience was non-profit founders. Our team of four began by identifying our end-user, user story, creating a stakeholder map, creating and distributing a survey via social media channels, direct emails, and networks. We then used our findings to identify our problem and begin our brainstorming. The team researched and benchmarked the topic heavily. We then established and developed a scrum using agile methodology. At the deadline, we showcased our work via video confrencing.
My role in the project was that of project manager/team lead, accessibility assessor, developer, and quality assurance tester.
