Event Details

It is, often times, hard for agencies to learn how to best serve a nonprofit. It is also difficult from the nonprofits end to figure out how to efficiently work with an agency, specifically on pro bono projects. This panel of Designers, Project Managers and Nonprofit Clients will discuss how to establish the best working partnership. Whether you work for a nonprofit or an agency, this talk is for you.

"We would love to work with more nonprofits. It's just hard because they don't have enough money" is not an excuse. So let's stop using it as one.
