Creative Cares

CREATIVECARES MISSION To match creative professionals with organizations in need—locally, regionally and globally. NON-PROFIT + CREATIVE = GREATER GOOD There are hundreds of organizations worldwide that need the expertise of “creatives” — photographers, writers, graphic designers and production artists — to tell their story. In fact, without a powerful message, they cannot effectively reach the donors and volunteers they so desperately need to effect real change. The problem is that organizations for social change are strapped for time, resources and funding. Many of these groups rely solely on charitable donations. Hiring a creative team is usually not a financial possibility: there are lots of worthy causes whose message is not being heard because of this. That’s where CreativeCares comes in. Think of us as a matchmaking service for non-profits and the creative community. We link an organization’s needs—social media strategy, photojournalism, web design, event planning, you name it—to creative professionals with the right skills and a passion for causes to work on a pro-bono basis. With CreativeCares, they have the potential to find creative individuals in their own neighborhood, state, or even across the globe! Non-profits and creative professionals teaming up for the greater good—that’s what CreativeCares is all about.
