Exponential Change

ChangeUp: LA is an intense, community event with the goal of making great strides toward improving the effectiveness of five non-profit organizations.

In one weekend, a few dozen design, marketing, and web professionals will meet with representatives from the five organizations. The organizations will present their design challenges (a new brochure, updated branding, a website refresh, etc.) and the participants will form groups and work to complete the projects... all by the end of the weekend!

A Chance to Be Inspiring

Right now, non-profit organizations have little or no budget for their design. The work is usually done by a staff member without a design background and falls victim to the horrors of clip art. The first casualty is the credibility of the organization.

The Obama for America campaign exemplified the impact of powerful design and community involvement. The smart, bold Obama "brand" has become synonymous with change and hope; so much so that the style is being emulated by for-profit corporations to capture some of that power. Imagine if every non-profit organization were that impactful. After the weekend of May 30-31, they will be.

The world will view our five organizations with respect and inspiration. The organizations will view themselves in a new light, and be inspired to make bigger moves for their cause. You, as the participant will see yourself as inspiring and part of a powerful community.
