HIAS Website Launch

Posted on: August 26th, 2009 by Aaron Martin

HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is an advocacy group for persecuted and oppressed persons worldwide and has been around since the 1880s. The organization needed to develop a digital strategy to increase awareness of outreach initiatives, attract a younger generation, and increase revenue through online giving. After meeting with executives and an education on the many branches of HIAS, Purple, Rock, Scissors formed online subdomains — such as Global, MyStory, and Advocacy — for each significant facet of the non-profit’s work. An interactive map shows the different regions where HIAS is conducting campaigns aided heavily by user donations; we customized the donation system so users could sync online and offline giving and track donations, and created room for future growth of a Young Leaders subdomain.
