FOUNDATIONS + NONPROFITS

design for impact

For over two decades, Project6 has partnered with foundations and nonprofits to achieve their goals.

Our clients champion complex causes like social justice and human rights, the environment, arts and entertainment, public health and community initiatives. Project6 is here to support your team with brand identity, print materials, and digital design—so you can focus on your mission.

Your Mission, Our Commitment

Each of our foundation and nonprofit clients comes with important goals and unique needs. We adopt your mission as our own—to empower your organization, amplify your impact, and enable your donor relationships.

Industry-Leading Capabilities

Given the complexity of running a foundation, we strive to create simplicity. Our clients rely on Project6 for support with grants and donation tools, updating technologies, and accessibility compliance. We also specialize in branding and print design, including Impact Reports, Annual Reports, and marketing materials.

accessibility

Most of our clients must comply with WCAG 2.2 level AA guidelines. As a leader in accessibility best practices, Project6 is proud to help foundations and nonprofit organizations meet or exceed these standards. To us, following the guidelines goes beyond compliance—it means creating experiences that are truly accessible to all.

We build collaborative, long-lasting relationships. Project6 believes that success is rooted in partnership, and reinforced by the depth of our design know-how. We often augment internal marketing teams, adding expertise how and when it’s needed.

Center for the Art of Translation website design
Center for the Art of Translation website design company
"I couldn't recommend working with Project6 more highly. Finding the right web design team is daunting. How can you feel confident about a decision that involves nearly every aspect of your organization's mission and vision? For the Center for the Art of Translation, Project6 surpassed all of our expectations. From kickoff to launch, Project6 was attentive to our priorities and needs: they are keen listeners who provide clear guidance, and they offer innovative solutions to both technical and organizational challenges. Their staff is a dream. Creating a new website is an incredible undertaking, but Project6 made the experience dynamic and energizing for everyone involved. The final product is visually ravishing, but it also serves our needs better than we could have imagined."

—Michael Holtmann, Executive Director & Publisher, Center for the Art of Translation

We wanted a platform that would allow the wisdom and dignity of our women role models to be presented in the most elegant and user friendly way. After years of dreaming if we could find experts to help us, we found the P6 team and have never looked back.”
