We are very pleased to share that several new feature developments and upgrades are coming to MyCompass due to the support of MyCompass customers.

All customers will benefit from these new and upgraded features due to the support of our contributors.
MyCompass customers and our Features Roadmap on the website will be kept up to date as we move through development!
Customer-Sourced Feature Development and Sponsorship
On February 27th, 2025, MyCompass Customers gathered to share feedback and ideate on new possible features for MyCompass. We are grateful for the participation of the 18 participants for their time and thoughtful feedback that helped shape these new and upgraded features. Following this workshop, MyCompass compiled the feedback and ideas to create new and upgraded features that were sourced from customer needs. MyCompass utilizes a sponsorship model where new features and desired upgrades can be sponsored by customers to help bring features to life and expedite their development. We are extremely grateful to the 5 organizations who stepped up to fund these new features.
Larger than new features, the generous contributions of MyCompass customers help us meet our systems change goals. We view MyCompass as a systems change agent that humanizes social service interactions and systems - benefitting the people we serve to access opportunities to thrive and live a good life. The sponsorship model enables the growth of MyCompass through grassroots efforts, as opposed to venture capital, which supports us to strongly hold our values and mission without being overshadowed by profit needs of investors.
We are projecting to complete the majority of the new and upgraded features within 6 - 8 months. We again express gratitude to our contributors whose support helps the rapid development of these features that benefit all MyCompass customers.
