Family In My Backyard - FIMBY An online tool for knowing and loving your Christian neighbours through the giving, receiving and lending of resources.

How FIMBY’s online Lending Library is being built:
1. Create a process (flow chart)
2. Map distinct components to that process (coloured boxes)
3. Create a prioritized build list (2nd pic)
4. If I had help….clear requirements for each component (skipped this step and left it in my head)
5. Build it (3rd Image)
PS We are 50% done 🎉

Thanks for accepting our grant proposal!! 💛 🎉 💛 We are really excited to partner with you this coming year!
