Charles Koch Institute & Foundation Websites
A pair of custom, responsive websites for a social philanthropy foundation and institute.
Both the Charles Koch Institute and Foundation aim to support and partner with social entreprenuers across various sectors of society (some of their partners include OnBeing, Poynter Institute, and the Knight Foundation), empowering them to break barriers and move society towards equal rights, openness, self-actualization, and mutual benefit.
When we began the project, both the Foundation and Institute websites were nearly indistiguishable visually even though their mission, goals, and audiences varied. Through an extensive discovery phase including interviews, surveys, competitive analysis, and the formation of new site architectures, we designed and developed two distinct, custom, and responsive websites complete with refreshed visual design systems.
