Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
Additional details

We are in need of an updated and unified website due to a legal merger of two organizations--resulting in Our Children Oregon. We will publicly launch the new brand in April and need to unite the two current websites as well as incorporate the new branding and messaging for the organization.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the domain and existing websites., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a branding and messaging process underway, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,777 , allowing us to hire a part-time communications team member to help with the launch of our statewide campaign.

We want to launch the new organization in April to correspond with child abuse prevention month. The vision is to create an organization that has both the "force" for the common good and the data that challenges the status quo to lean into creating a more sustainable, healthy, safe future for all of Our Children.

Our mission

Our Children Oregon is committed to advancing the common good of all Oregon children, ensuring all children have the resources and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.

What we do

Our Children Oregon is advancing equitable policymaking and whole-child advocacy statewide to ensure our children and youth have what they need, regardless of their race or where they live, to thrive by activating meaningful change for children and families.

We partner alongside organizations to uplift and advocate for community-driven, equity-centered policies and investments that will improve the lives of Oregon's children and families. We work with a network of service providers to strengthen family supports by addressing the root causes of child abuse. We collect, analyze, and elevate data and research, that alongside lived expertise drives conversations in support of Oregon's future. And we engage Oregon youth and communities through education and action opportunities.
