Case Study: Youth on Record boosts fundraising and audience engagement with Drupal 8

Website Redesign in Drupal 8 Helps a Rockstar Nonprofit Get an Edge

Youth on Record, a Denver nonprofit that empowers at‑risk high school students through music education, needed a modern website to showcase its programs, boost fundraising, and raise event awareness. To address this, Elevated Third ran a pro‑bono redesign built on the Drupal platform (Drupal 8), giving the organization a chance to both refresh its brand and experiment with Drupal’s capabilities.

Using Drupal 8, Elevated Third reworked the information architecture, delivered a modern responsive design, integrated external libraries (including a Twitter API library) and used Pattern Lab for consistent media components, while leveraging Drupal’s improved admin experience for easier nonprofit maintenance. The Drupal 8 build saved hours of development time and cost, launched on time and under budget, exceeded client expectations, and positioned Youth on Record with a future‑proof site that strengthens fundraising, partnerships and audience reach.
