Making good together

Are you a graphic designer, copywriter, web developer, social media strategist, photographer, videographer, or any other creative type who loves to give back? Are you a local nonprofit or emerging entrepreneur with a project or specific branding or marketing need? Let us hear from you.

Make for good

Our annual, 12-hour make-a-thon couldn’t happen without the many volunteer makers who donate their time and talent to help meet critical needs for a local nonprofit organization.

Projects can range from brand identity and standards to collateral and messaging, photography, videography, social strategies, content, and more. We always need designers, writers, strategists, developers, photographers, videographers. Whatever your craft, we can use it.

Makers

Volunteer to be a maker

We cannot pull this off without the incredible talent of our makers, who are selected based on the skillsets we need to assemble for the nonprofits’ projects. We invite creative members of the community to register for the event and tell us about their skillsets and experience, so that we can utilize them in the right ways.

Nonprofits

Apply to be a recipient

We aim to serve as many nonprofits each year as possible. As part of our process, we ask that you complete an application to tell us about your organization and how we can help you further your cause or deepen your impact. From there, we interview those organizations with projects we feel strongly can be completed in 12 hours.

  • We are thrilled and honored to be partnered with the team at Do Greater Charlotte and hosted at their beautiful Sparkhouse Charlotte space.

    Fun fact: the lab's original branding was developed through our 2020 make-a-thon event.
