Lab Notes

Shipped

• Rebrand to Frontier Commons — new name, wordmark logo, and identity across all pages. Reflects our scope beyond a single lab.
• "Same Campus, Two Realities" contrast section — side-by-side comparison of ministry without tools vs. with Frontier Commons. Shows the gap we close.
• Impact calculator — interactive slider that lets donors and partners see what happens when campus workers get equipped. Scales from 1 to 100 workers.
• Impact numbers strip — 7M+ international students, 5,000 strategic universities, 6 tools built, 13 partner organizations. Hard data above the fold.
• Institutional Foundation + Advisors — team backgrounds across corporate, ministry, and academic worlds. Nine named advisors with 300+ years combined experience.
• Give button — first fundraising mechanism on the site, linked to IFI Partners giving page. Frontier Commons is a ministry of IFI Partners.
• Vision roadmap — Now / Next / Future framework showing where we're headed, with donation impact storytelling: "Right now X, but if you give, Y."

Why

• CDO and CPO reviews identified 20 gaps that would block donors and partners from engaging
• Adopted "donation impact story" framing — future-looking storytelling converts better than participant or organizational stories
• Site now serves two audiences: ministry workers (tools) and supporters (credibility + giving)
