Social Impact Collective
Relational, principle-led approach · Not your typical nonprofit site
sections and wireframe details
On the Participatory / Conversational Page
Recommend: Curated Discussion Space
A moderated "Conversations" or "Community Reflections" page — not a forum, but a space where the Collective poses questions and visitors respond. Think We All Count's community model: structured prompts, curated responses, low maintenance. Could live under Collective Learnings. Aligns with Community Building + Transparency principles. Start simple (embedded form + featured responses), scale later if engagement warrants it.
Consider: Newsletter as the Conversational Hub
Your newsletter integration already creates a two-way channel. Adding a "reader responses" section or a periodic "community question" in the newsletter — then featuring those responses on the site — gives you participatory content without building a separate platform. Lower lift, higher signal. TACSI does this well with their newsletter-to-website pipeline.
Caution: Full Community Platform
Platforms like Circle, Mighty Networks, or Hivebrite are powerful but require ongoing moderation, content seeding, and community management. Unless you have dedicated staff capacity for this, it risks feeling empty — which is worse than not having it. The Collective's current team size may not support this yet. Recommend revisiting once audience B is engaged and contributing.
