Making for good in Charlotte

Make for Good operates on a simple but powerful idea: when we make for good, we make change possible.

Each year, the program hosts a 12-hour make-a-thon that pairs talented “makers” — like designers, writers, developers, photographers, and strategists — with community organizations to produce high-quality creative assets that accelerate their missions.

By connecting skilled creatives with purpose-driven organizations and founders, we create more than logos, websites, and campaigns. We create opportunity, confidence, and momentum. Join us.

Local nonprofits, let us serve you

We are proud to have supported 70+ nonprofit organizations in our 6 years. As a nonprofit, we recognize you are constantly serving and improving our communities with your unique, important programming—and we want to make sure your key audiences and potential donors know who you are and what you do.

Let us help you broaden and deepen your impact by meeting some of your critical branding and marketing needs.
