( SUPPORTING IMPACT )
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Good work shouldn’t only be accessible to organizations with large budgets. A limited number of reduced-rate, partially subsidized, or occasionally pro bono projects are available each year for nonprofits, small businesses, creatives, and community organizations doing meaningful work with limited resources.


( About THIS PROGRAM )
ACCESS SHOULDN'T BE AN OBSTACLE
Small businesses and community organizations are the backbone of every neighborhood. They fill gaps, build belonging, and do the work that larger institutions ignore. But foundational tools like a real website, clear messaging, or a cohesive brand are often out of reach when you're operating with limited resources.
I set aside a limited number of projects each year because communities are stronger when community care, creativity, and individual growth are supported. No compromise on quality. Just good work made more accessible.
What’s included depends on what you actually need. Projects may focus on web design, brand foundations, messaging and positioning, SEO basics, or strategic guidance. Scope is intentionally contained so projects stay focused, accessible, and achievable. Support may take the form of reduced-rate pricing, a partial Community Investment credit, or a tightly scoped pro bono engagement, depending on the project and available capacity.

Who Qualifies?
Small businesses, creatives, and community organizations doing meaningful work with limited resources — especially those led by or serving marginalized, underrepresented, or economically constrained communities.

How Does It Work?
Just like any other project. We’ll start with a discovery call, move into a proposal, and once aligned, sign a project agreement. You'll receive access to your client portal and then we're off!

How Do I Apply?
Fill out the contact form below with a little context about your org or business, what you need, and where you're stuck plus a few details on your impact goals. No lengthy applications. Just an honest conversation.
Tell me a little about your business or organization, what you're working on, and where you're stuck. I'll take it from there.
