RevStar partnered with United Way Suncoast to evolve GoUnited into a scalable, multi-tenant community engagement platform that empowers United Way chapters nationwide with personalized donor experiences, AI-powered engagement, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Established a production-ready national platform supporting multi-chapter onboarding, personalized donor engagement, AI-powered assistance, and community experiences while validating nationwide adoption across the United Way network.
The Challenge
As United Way Suncoast expanded its vision beyond serving a single region, the organization set out to create a shared digital platform capable of supporting United Way chapters nationwide.
Rather than each chapter independently maintaining its own donor engagement tools and digital experiences, United Way Suncoast envisioned a scalable platform that could deliver personalized community engagement, simplify chapter onboarding, and provide a consistent experience across the broader United Way network.
Building a national platform required an architecture capable of supporting multiple organizations while maintaining chapter-level configuration, data isolation, and long-term scalability without requiring platform redesign as additional chapters joined.
The Problem
United Way Suncoast needed a scalable way to evolve GoUnited from a successful pilot into a production-ready national platform capable of supporting multiple United Way chapters. The platform needed to strengthen donor engagement, empower chapter administrators, and introduce intelligent, AI-powered experiences while providing the flexibility to onboard new organizations efficiently as adoption expanded.
The Solution
RevStar acted as United Way Suncoast's strategic technology partner, architecting the next generation of the GoUnited platform to support nationwide adoption. Working as an extension of the client's team, RevStar designed a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform that enables chapter-aware configuration, personalized donor experiences, self-service administration, and scalable community engagement across multiple United Way organizations.
Built on AWS and enhanced with Amazon Bedrock-powered generative AI, the solution combines intelligent donor experiences, real-time community engagement, and cloud-native architecture to establish a secure, scalable foundation for future platform expansion while enabling additional United Way chapters to onboard without platform re-engineering.
