Capacity is a nonprofit organization that supports migrant and refugee entrepreneurs and job seekers living in Switzerland. As Capacity expands community outreach, they have identified challenges with alumni management and communication. We interviewed Capacity employees, donors, volunteers, members, and alumni to identify their needs and then analyzed available platforms to identify well-matched digital solution options for Capacity. We highly recommended two centralized, community-building platforms to promote networking and improve alumni management.
