What is this?
Forge54 is an annual skilled giving weekend where we create an entire marketing campaign for one lucky nonprofit. And by “we,” we mean the 100+ creative and strategic-minded professionals who are selected by our board members, based on what we need to do for our client.
How we do it
We form teams by discipline (strategy, design, copywriting, PR, social, video, mobile app and website development, events). Then we all come together for 54 hours, starting at noon on Friday, to produce the work. On Sunday evening, we present everything we’ve created to our grateful (and usually teary-eyed) clients.
Why we do it
Nonprofits typically have very little to spend on marketing. We know this. So we kickstart their marketing efforts in a way they never could with their budget. It’s kind of like winning the lottery for them.
Last year, we delivered over half a million dollars worth of marketing services to Dreams for Schools. We look forwarding to selecting our next nonprofit and can't wait to support them in their efforts.
How you can help
We're going to do a crazy amount of work that weekend, just like always. And we can't do it alone. So please apply today to be a volunteer. We need people with skills in every discipline.
Or sponsor the weekend with a monetary or in-kind donation. Will you please step up to this challenge with us?
Thanks again
We really appreciate that you want to help us give back to the community.
