NONPROFIT
BRAND BOOST
GIVEAWAY
Because your mission deserves to get noticed.
To commemorate my 20th year in business, I'm giving one lucky U.S. nonprofit organization
a FREE Visual Brand Identity and VIP Design Day.
(A $3,750 value!)
Get ready to expand your impact with strategic design that brings clarity and recognition.
Why it matters
Your mission deserves to be seen and remembered.
Strong branding isn’t just about looking polished. It's about building trust.
Many nonprofits know their branding isn’t working, but don’t have the time, budget, or internal resources to fix it. This giveaway exists to remove that barrier.
✔ Boost credibility among corporate donors
✔ Create brand recognition among community partners
✔ Save design time for staff and volunteers long term
✔ Build loyalty among the people you serve
✔ Connect supporters emotionally to your mission
