Website Technical Updates
Project details
What we need
- Updates and/or fixes to Organization’s existing website (e.g., bug fixes, plugin or widget integration, etc.)
- Training for up to 3 Organization staff members on how to resolve minor issues going forward (if applicable)
Additional details
Updates to our newlsetter list mailchimp automation to make sure signups go into the right list.
Optimization of list automation for an upcoming campaign.
Integration of Mailchimp and e-commerce of the site/potentially integrating with Salesforce
What we have in place
- We currently have Mailchimp and a Wordpress site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff who know how our Mailchimp lists work right now, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,757 , allowing us to reinvest in telling the stories that matter, impacting child welfare and youth justice policy and practice.
This project has the potential to elevate our audience reach and potential to connect with individual donors more meaningfully. It is especially timely because we will be launching a campaign with over 200 newsrooms to meet a matching gift through individual donations. This campaign provides vital funding for our nonprofit newsroom.

Our mission
Fostering Media Connections (FMC) uses journalism and media to lead the conversation about children, youth and families. FMC's key programs 1) inform child welfare and youth justice policy discussions; 2) train youth with lived experience to lead the conversation around improving the youth justice and child welfare systems; and 3) drive a public discourse that elevates the needs of children, youth and families involved in public systems.
What we do
Our work primarily serves children, youth and families caught up in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems by driving reform to those systems, and by teaching systems-experienced youth to produce their own journalism. We actively share our journalism with mainstream media partners to amplify our work and grab the attention of policymakers and thought-leaders in positions to change child welfare policy and practice.
FMC's programs are:
* The Imprint, a national nonprofit online news outlet covering child welfare and youth justice. The Imprint produces daily news stories, expert columns and op-eds that provide in-depth coverage of the people, policies and practices that land children in foster care and criminal courts.
* Youth Voices Rising, a journalism training program for foster youth with lived experience in the youth justice systems and/or homelessness to help youth gain the skills and confidence they need to articulate the policy and practice changes needed to improve the system.
* Fostering Families Today, a bimonthly resource magazine, which is distributed to foster, adoptive and kinship families across America.
* SafeCamp Audio, a podcast network producing and promoting quality audio content on child welfare, youth justice and youth homelessness.
