CCV Project Summary
Last updated July 27, 2026

We are preparing a full design view of the CCV Command Center for the whole organization, so you can see what the finished platform will look like before it is built. It starts with the CRM and grows from there, adding modules, features, and team access as each product is built. Alongside it, the CCV.org wireframes are now with your team for review, and the search-visibility groundwork for the rebuild is complete. On the CEN CRM, the sales pipeline prototype was reviewed and agreed, about 2,000 head-of-school contacts were loaded in, and the sandbox data now flows straight through to it. The CEN and SGO videos are also being updated with the requested changes today. The September 9 CCV.org relaunch and the October 1 SGO launch are the two dates the work is paced against.

What we need
What we need from CCV.
Open decisions and inputs, and what each one releases.
5 items
What we need Details
1. Wireframe feedback The CCV.org wireframes are with your team now, 21 pages across all page types. Your comments release build mode, which starts early to mid August ahead of the September 9 relaunch. A walkthrough can follow once you have had a look.
2. Fund management reporting requirements The fund management process is confirmed and the weekly reconciliation approach is sound. Two items remain: finance leadership visibility into the donor dashboard, and confirmation of which financial reports must continue to run inside Virtuous after cutover, so the new system is built to produce them. Both are needed before the donor migration can be scheduled against the Virtuous end date.
3. Theodore migration timing and approach About 220 Ohio school profiles need moving onto the new SGO platform. A decision on timing and method is needed, as it runs into the Ohio renewals season and determines whether the platform takes live intake this cycle or next. Once agreed, the migration plan and the school profile completion step can be built together.
4. Communio placement in the CCV.org structure Where Communio sits in the site structure is still open. It is the last item holding the information architecture, and the final wireframe and content plan follow from it.
5. Podcast naming The two-show structure is confirmed and both shows need names. A set of alternatives is coming across for selection. A decision here releases the remaining podcast recommendations.

03 / PILLAR DETAILS
CCV.org website redesign
In progress
Target September 9

The CEN SGO website is live, and the focus is the full CCV.org rebuild, moving from Squarespace to WordPress for a September 9 relaunch. The wireframes are now with your team for review, 21 pages across all page types. The search-visibility groundwork is complete: a full crawl of the current site, twelve months of search and analytics data, the money pages marked, and a redirect map so nothing breaks in the move. Once the wireframes are signed off, build mode starts early to mid August, which is the build start, not the launch. The Issues section stays, reframed as a resource hub, and older content is archived rather than removed so it stays findable. Communio's placement in the structure is the one decision still open.

Task Owner When Notes
Wireframe feedback AIDM and CCV In review The wireframes are with your team now, 21 pages across all page types. Your comments release build mode, and a walkthrough follows once you have had a look.
CCV.org search baseline AIDM Done A full crawl of 1,100-plus URLs with titles, meta, and headings, twelve months of Search Console and Analytics data, the money pages marked, 1,300-plus referring domains gathered, the link and header and footer structure mapped, a redirect map off the current site, and the sitemap exported.
Information architecture AIDM In progress The information architecture site is being built out with the changes agreed in the client meetings, and all references and documentation have been cross-checked.
Issues section as a resource hub AIDM and CCV In progress Confirmed on July 20: the Issues section stays and is reframed as a resource hub, modeled on the FSI page. It carries what CCV does, what it believes, and citable resources such as data points and graphs, which is the kind of material news agencies and AI tools already pull from pages like it. A first-pass proposal is being drafted for CCV review.
CCV.org rebuild AIDM Sep 9 Build mode starts early to mid August once the wireframe is approved, for the full rebuild on WordPress and a September 9 relaunch. The August date is the build start, not the launch.
Content archive in the restructure AIDM Sep 9 Nothing is deleted in the restructure. Older content is archived rather than removed, stays searchable, and remains findable through the footer, while current content moves front and center.
Communio placement AIDM and CCV Open One question stays open before the information architecture locks: where Communio sits in the site structure. To be settled with the client.
Redesign decisions confirmed AIDM Done The client answered five of the six outstanding decisions on July 16: the September 9 launch target, the Issues section carried into a follow-up discussion, ownership of the daily newsletter, and Vote for Ohio as a rename of the existing ballot site. The Issues section was settled on July 20 and stays as a resource hub. Communio's placement is the one still open.
Site re-crawl AIDM Done The current CCV website was re-crawled to confirm it lines up with the information architecture as it stands.
Site audit and strategy AIDM Done A page-by-page audit of CCV.org, a competitive analysis of eight peer organizations across twenty-five website features, a website strategy and implementation checklist, and a proposed sitemap from the client's outline. The audit found the current site is about 20 pages deep on only one level with no forward navigation, plus nine connected microsites and subdomains for CCV's other brands, the rationale behind the rebuild.
CEN SGO website AIDM Live Live and complete. The homepage metrics, the video relocation to the Schools page, and the Education Freedom Tax Credit language are all done.
CEN SGO platform
In progress
Build underway

The SGO platform design is accepted and the build is underway, on track for the October 1 launch. The search indexing is now in place across pages, resources, and state pages. Ahead of the Ohio renewals season, two things are open: a public URL for schools to complete their profiles, and a migration plan for the roughly 220 Ohio schools on Theodore, the legacy scholarship tool, before the new platform can take live intake. That school count is our working number and still needs confirming against your records.

Task Owner When Notes
School profile completion URL AIDM Open A school-profile completion URL for the Ohio renewals season is still open. The new platform is not ready to take live intake yet, and about 220 Ohio schools on Theodore need a migration plan first. AIDM will come back with the approach.
SGO platform build AIDM In progress Build underway on the accepted design, on track to be operational October 1.
Data center preparation AIDM In progress Preparing storage and infrastructure on the data center CCV selected, ready to host the SGO platform.
Theodore data migration AIDM and CCV Planned A migration plan for about 220 Ohio school profiles held on Theodore, moving them onto the new SGO platform ahead of Theodore's December 2026 contract end. Timing and approach need a decision with your team before the plan can be built.
Demo-submission tracker AIDM Planned A wanted feature to track who was sent a sandbox link, whether they logged in, and how many times, to support CEN sales follow-up.
CEN SGO search indexing AIDM Done Cached content cleared from Google, 20-plus links indexed across pages, resources, and state pages, Search Console issues fixed, and indexing requested for the rest.
Sandbox access controls AIDM Done The sandbox now closes external trial access automatically, with CCV and AIDM domains excluded so the internal team keeps standing access, and passes expired contacts through to the CRM for follow-up.
SGO sandbox finished AIDM Done Complete with step-by-step guides, a chatbot, tutorial videos, and brand data saved per school.
Sales videos for the CEN team AIDM Done Three AI-generated videos: an introduction, a sandbox demo, and an orientation.
School list and CRM
In progress
Verified school list and CRM

The CEN CRM is live at crm.censgo.org, and this week the work stepped up. A full design view of the CCV Command Center is being prepared, so the whole organization can see what the finished platform will look like before it is built, starting with the CRM and adding modules and team access as each product is built. On the CRM itself, the sales pipeline prototype was reviewed and agreed, about 2,000 head-of-school contacts were loaded in, and the sandbox data now flows straight through. Next is building the agreed features and the production cutover to the data center CCV selected. In parallel, the donor migration out of Virtuous, CCV's donor CRM, continues, with the fund management reporting requirements being confirmed first.

Task Owner When Notes
Command Center design view AIDM Next 2 weeks A full design view of the CCV Command Center for the whole organization, so you can see what the finished platform will look like before it is built. It starts with the CRM and adds modules, features, and team access as each product is built.
CEN CRM feature build AIDM August Building the CRM features agreed from the sales-process document: manual contact management, role filters, notes, due dates, and AI lead summaries.
Email marketing go-live AIDM This week The mailbox question is resolved and the inbox is confirmed. The final email copy is the last item before sending goes live.
Fund management migration AIDM and CCV In progress The fund management process is confirmed and the weekly reconciliation approach is sound. Two items are open before the build: finance leadership visibility into the donor dashboard, and confirmation of which financial reports must continue after cutover.
School outreach through the CRM AIDM and CCV In progress The School Partnership Director is now the primary booking contact for school administrators, is linked into the CRM, is working through training on the tool, and is running outreach with the earlier restrictions removed. A phone outreach tool he is comfortable with is being evaluated to connect into the CRM.
CEN Ohio affiliate program retirement AIDM August CEN's Ohio-based affiliate program, about 220 schools on Theodore, retires alongside the Virtuous cancellation. A transfer and training campaign moves those schools onto the new CRM, timed as a renewal moment.
CRM full onboarding AIDM Third week of August Target for the CCV communications team to be fully onboarded onto the new CRM tool, ahead of the Virtuous subscription ending.
Donor data migration AIDM and CCV Before Sep 10 Migrating roughly 40,000 donor contacts out of Virtuous, CCV's donor CRM and separate from the CEN CRM, with cleanup underway since less than half are estimated active. The cutover has to complete before the Virtuous subscription ends in September. The build sequence depends on the fund management questions being confirmed first.
Sales pipeline prototype reviewed AIDM Done The CEN CRM sales pipeline prototype was reviewed with your team and the feature set agreed, covering the calendar-to-CRM flow, the opportunity pipeline, contact management, and campaign reporting.
Head-of-school contacts loaded AIDM Done About 2,000 head-of-school leadership contacts loaded into the CRM with name, title, phone, and role, mapped to their school accounts.
Sandbox data through to the CRM AIDM Done The webhook was updated to new endpoints with expiry triggers, so new signups and existing user data now flow from the sandbox straight through to the CRM.
CRM reports page AIDM Done The reports page now brings four views into one place: overview, SGO health, campaigns, and expired logins.
Sandbox data in the CRM AIDM Done Sandbox signup and usage data now flows into the CRM, so the CEN team can see who signed up and what they did.
Staff notifications AIDM Done The team is now alerted automatically when a new lead comes in through the site.
Campaign contact filtering AIDM Done Outreach can now be filtered to the right roles at each school, and the schools database was enriched with head-of-school contacts to support the calls.
info@censgo.org inbox AIDM Done Confirmed on July 17 as a full mailbox, with access arranged for the CEN team member who will monitor it.
Email marketing automation built AIDM Done Visual editor, shared template library, and automatic routing of form submissions to the donor, school, and general teams. Technical issues resolved before go-live and a testing environment stood up on the data center CCV selected.
CEN CRM live in production AIDM Done Live at crm.censgo.org with secure hosting: schools and contacts database, call tracking, groups and segments, campaign builder, and Google sign-in.
School contact list AIDM Done Cleaned, verified, and built to 14,000 schools with heads-of-school names and verified emails. Ready for use.
Marketing and content
Starting
Search visibility, podcast, social automation

The CEN and SGO videos are being updated with the requested changes today. The CEN SGO site's search visibility is complete: titles and meta across the site, validated structured data, alt text on every image, and Search Console and Analytics connected so performance is measurable. The School Partnership Director is on the site with a booking page. The Narrative podcast document is approved and the two-show structure is confirmed, with naming and the remaining recommendations next. The six-week social plan for CEN SGO is being prepared.

Task Owner When Notes
Booking page embed AIDM This week The School Partnership Director's booking page embed code arrived on July 17 and goes onto the CEN SGO site this week.
Podcast recommendations AIDM and CCV In progress The Narrative document is approved and the recommendations are being worked through. The client has confirmed the shape as two separate shows, The Narrative staying Ohio-focused and a second national show to follow. Next is agreeing a single owner, the episode renaming and republishing, and the new Education category ahead of the SGO launch.
CEN SGO email logo AIDM In progress Adds a verified brand logo beside authenticated CEN SGO emails. The logo has been sent to the client's IT contact, who has the access to add it, and domain access is confirmed.
Social automation AIDM August Starter content and automations for the CEN channels.
School marketing kit AIDM Through summer A ready kit for each school: profile, branding, flyers, social posts, standard emails, and guides to promote the scholarship program to families.
Remaining CEN team profiles on the new site AIDM and CCV Open Two further CEN team members still need their profiles and booking pages on the new CEN SGO site. Both are in a holding pattern now that the School Partnership Director's page is live. Open item.
CEN and SGO video updates AIDM This week Updating the CEN and SGO videos with the requested changes, being completed today.
Site search visibility AIDM Done Titles and meta descriptions across the whole site, structured data generated for every page and post and validated with Google's testing tool, automatic structured-data generation for resources and blog posts, and alt text on every image.
