MPA Alliance

Brief
This is a collaborative project organized by ArtCenter DesignMatters and Mary Pickford Foundation Arts Consortium LA. The purpose is to produce an software for Arts Consortium LA to help solve the problems faced by thousands of non-profit organizations in the LA area.
What is MPA Alliance?

Main Feature
This application features two interfaces for non-profit organizations (B2B) and individual users (B2C), maintaining a consistent design style. While most screens are shared, each version includes unique features tailored to its user group, ensuring a seamless yet customized experience.

What does our stakeholder need?
What does our stakeholder need?
They are looking for a platform that can bring together all arts non-profits in LA to collaborate, share resources, and raise funding collectively.

So, how do we start?

We started with interviewing both stakeholder and non-profit organizations.

We started with interviewing both stakeholder and non-profit organizations.
And here is what we found…
I
Non- Profits find it difficulty establishing meaningful connections with other non-profits to share resources and experiences.
II
For Non-Profits, finding suitable volunteers and support personnel is time-consuming.
III
For personal users, It’s challenging to find a centralized platform that displays non-profit information and projects.
IV
Volunteers think It’s challenging to find a centralized platform that displays non-profit information and projects.
V
Foundations find it can be challenging to compare non-profits objectively without a standardized platform for sharing information.
VI
Foundations need assurance that the non-profit can effectively compete for grants and deliver measurable outcomes.
And we found our target users

Base on user needs, we designed main features of this website.
#1
Organizaitons can establish connection with other organizations more quickly and directly, and cooperate with projects.




#2
Organizaitons can establish connection with other organizations more quickly and directly, and cooperate with projects.
#3
Organizations can create or update project timeline step by step based on the guidance, making the overall project clearer and more transparent.




#4
Individual users can more accurately find their own projects to participate in, and more directly contact the organizations.
Then, we designed interface and had a round of Usbility Testing.
Home Page
Based on usability testing, we found that home page should be clean and straight forward into what this platform is about, instead of showing both "Events" and "Organizations".




Event Page
Although the "Progress Map" look nice, most users won't spend time making a map, and the stakeholder won't be able to spend too much to develop this feature.
Organization Page
Too much to display on this page.
Online Meeting feature is not necessary.
And event card is missing important information.




Donation Data
Our stakeholder thinks that displaying donation data will cause competition among organizations, so we decide to simplify this process.
Based on those feedback, here is our final prototype…
