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.

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

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.
