The Need:
Dream is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved youth through mentorship, athletics, education, and community engagement. Over the years, their programs expanded rapidly across Nebraska, but their website failed to keep up. It was outdated, hard to navigate, and didn’t reflect the energy, hope, or impact the organization brought to the communities it served.
They needed a refreshed platform that could serve as both a marketing tool and a resource hub—one that would inspire donors, inform parents, support volunteers, and engage students. Equally important, it had to be easy for internal teams to update and manage without relying on outside support.
The Solution:
MMG delivered a complete site rebrand using ExpressionEngine, built around clarity, visual storytelling, and scalable structure. We reorganized the site’s content architecture to focus on core pillars—mentorship, athletics, academic support, and leadership training—giving each program its own section with stories, photos, and calls-to-action.
We integrated a donation system with flexible giving options, added a real-time events calendar, and created landing pages for community initiatives and sponsorship opportunities. The ExpressionEngine backend was customized for Dream’s team, enabling simple page edits, blog publishing, and media uploads.
Visually, we emphasized bold imagery, youth-centric messaging, and clear pathways for action—whether someone wanted to donate, sign up, volunteer, or learn more about the organization’s work in Omaha, Lincoln, and beyond.
The Result:
Dream’s new site repositions the organization as a leading force in youth empowerment. Visitors now experience a clear narrative, intuitive navigation, and a direct path to involvement. Online donations increased, program participation inquiries rose, and staff now manage the site without third-party bottlenecks.
The rebrand has also helped Dream better support grant applications, community partners, and stakeholder reporting by providing a digital hub that reflects the scope and professionalism of its real-world impact.
