WIN A FREE WEBSITE AND LAUNCH BY GIVING TUESDAY
YEP! You’re not in a new dimension. You can get a complimentary WEBSITE from yours truly, an expert in Charity + Nonprofit Design - completely for FREE*.
This has actually been an annual tradition of donating our services of website building/editing & branding for a single registered non-profit. Typically, selection of the 501C3’s for gratuitous services happen by references and/or contacts from existing clients.
So what’s the deal Dani… How do you do this? How do we apply? Qualify? What is the difference between the two services? When will we get the free site? Are there any fees? LET’S DIVE IN.
HOW DO I EVEN DO THIS?
I GET IT, IT KINDA SEEMS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO BE A DESIGNER + CREATIVE FOR CHARITIES THEN GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREE
I mean, you are not wrong. But here’s the deal. Not all charities can afford (cough) or convince their board that my services are necessary. Also, my services are out of budget for many NPOs starting out and sometimes, all you need is someone to believe in you to get you started. I am more than happy to offer those charities my cheerleading services, tech skills and neurotic color mania for free. You are welcome!
AND then, guess what?!? I have a new lifelong friend and happy client who happily passes on referrals directly to more in my key market. 😉
HOW DO WE QUALIFY?
THIS PART IS EASY
Are you a 501C3 with a letter in hand? GUESS WHAT?!? YOU QUALIFY! Just make sure you do all of the steps!
