Program Guidelines

To keep this program sustainable and meaningful for everyone, here’s how it works:

  • 1

    One Project at a Time

    We can only take on one pro bono project at once. New applications are scheduled after the current project is completed.

  • 2

    2–3 Month Timeline

    Each project takes about 2–3 months, giving us time for planning, design, development, revisions, and a smooth launch.

  • 3

    Paying Clients Come First

    Since paying clients keep our lights on, their projects are prioritized. Pro bono work is scheduled around them.

  • 4

    Clear and Simple Agreements

    We’ll provide straightforward agreements and timelines so expectations are clear, making collaboration smooth and stress-free.

Why We Do This

We’re here to champion local changemakers! Every project is a chance to spark growth, fuel ideas, and show how the web can make a real difference in our communities.

Let’s build something that matters.
