Who can apply?
We’re looking for Indianapolis-based nonprofit organizations who have official 501c3 status and currently have a website in sore need of updating. There are a few additional requirements, including having dedicated staff who can pull the all-nighter with us and approve designs and such as we go along. Also, the organization must be available during a mutually agreed upon weekday in September to complete the project!

How do I apply?
We usually open the application process in late spring. If you’d like to be notified when we’re taking applications, please contact us.

How do you choose?
Our team sifts through all of the applications. Our number one priority is to choose an organization that we can enable to fulfill their mission in bigger, better ways. We love hearing your thoughts on how and why a new site will help you help more people. Go on, be creative in those answers!

It’s always a tough choice, but we narrow it down to a few finalists. Each finalist is set up with an interview with our team to determine the winner! We look for things like passion and fit, among all of the other criteria.

I’m a web developer. Can I get involved?
One day we have a grand vision of building out teams comprised of Indy’s best and brightest developers and designers, and we’re so glad to hear about it when people say they want to help. This year we just aren’t ready to incorporate others into our team, but you can email Lydia to be notified when we’re ready for you. For now, we have some other ways for you to be involved…

Other ways to be involved, you say?! Please do tell.
