Organisation Spotlight — Product Requirements
Overview
The Organisation Spotlight is a feature that showcases 2-3 MCB member organisations per month. The goal is to increase visibility, cross-organisational awareness, and community engagement across MCB's 500+ member network.
This feature supports Action 3 (Spotlight Lottery of Information Sharing) under the Community Empowerment & Education workstream.
Problem Statement
MCB's 500+ member organisations operate largely in silos. Most communities are only aware of a handful of well-known organisations. There is no regular mechanism for surfacing the breadth and diversity of the network, or for organisations to share what they do with each other's audiences.
Goals
- Increase visibility of MCB member organisations across the network
- Provide a regular, structured way for organisations to share their mission, services, and impact
- Drive traffic to the org-finder and individual organisation profiles
- Support cross-organisational collaboration and resource sharing
- Create shareable content for social media channels

- Featured organisation cards with expanded profiles
- Archive/history of previous spotlights
- Clear CTA to visit the organisation's full profile
Spotlight Submission Form
