Creatives

We are looking for creatives of all kinds to dedicate a 12-hour day to the creation of deliverables for local non-profits. Not only will you get the chance to meet and help a couple great CT-based organizations, but you’ll work with talented fellow creatives on exciting and challenging design briefs. You’ll help raise awareness and spread the message of organizations that work to make the community better through logos, brochures, social media campaigns, or creative strategies. One day can have a big impact!

Your participation constitutes permission to use photos, audio and video recording taken of you at the event for promotional and educational purposes in connection with AIGA, corresponding publications, archives, and online. 

Meet Our Nonprofits

Selected nonprofits receive pro bono professional design and marketing work to expand their reach. Joining this year’s Make-A-Thon will increase donors, engage your community, hone your message and highlight your cause.
