Case Study: Portland Rescue Mission strengthens donor and volunteer infrastructure with The Nine

Portland Rescue Mission builds a 100% community-funded donor and volunteer platform with The Nine

Portland Rescue Mission, a long-standing nonprofit serving the homeless and those in recovery in Portland, faced the challenge of creating a digital surface that could serve its diverse audiences equally well. The site needed to provide immediate emergency help resources while also facilitating complex donor and volunteer actions, all crucial for its 100% community-funded model. They partnered with vendor The Nine to address this.

The Nine built a new website on the Caboose CMS platform with custom Ruby on Rails modules, creating a responsive site with a modern front-end. The solution provided direct paths for emergency help, detailed program information, and robust donation and volunteer sign-up flows. This gave Portland Rescue Mission a long-term, maintainable platform to support its mission and community-funded operations effectively.
