The grant was created to help small, community-focused nonprofits elevate their brand and communications by supporting efforts to expand their reach, raise funds and promote their cause. Recipients enter into a year-long partnership with Firebelly Design, which includes comprehensive brand and design services, as well as some educational components to keep it sustainable.

Valued at over $150,000, the in-kind grant varies from year to year, depending on the recipient’s needs. Usually it includes a mix of the following: brand strategy, visual identity, print and digital design, web development and copywriting. A small, collaborative studio operating since 1999, Firebelly is well versed in all of the above—and then some.
