Make a Mark CLT success story ⚡️

Former nonprofit recipient Carey French trusted her maker team with an exciting task: creating a brand (name, logo, visual language, etc.) for her organization that was just beginning—a program dedicated to bringing up the next generation of bilingual educators through teaching internships.

came to life in 12 hours. Carey’s inspiring vision + her maker team’s remarkable talents produced a brand that became her mission’s launchpad. We are in awe of all Carey’s doing in the community today through Resound, and honored to played a small part in her big dream.

Thank you to this 2020 maker team (Natalie, ) and to for partnering with our Make a Mark team to make it happen! 💙

“Make a Mark Charlotte designathon provided a fantastic experience for Money Magnets Club’s programming and overall brand to be elevated in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

In addition to the superb work that a talented group of professionals put tens of thousands of dollars of expertise into for our moneyTRAIN brand—at no cost to us—they were consistently looking for ways to add to that. One of the designers with expertise in 3D printing made a drawing mockup and printed samples of 3D prints that they thought were cool, as well as prototyped it as a magnet. And cool was the understatement of the century.

We’ve since ordered hundreds of these 3D printed Money Magnets Club money magnets and utilized them in a variety of fun ways that has left, well, a mark that’s most recognizable for our donors and those we serve. This experience has continued to produce multiple layers of value that we are extremely grateful for!”

Another year behind us, yet it never gets old—watching talented makers freely give their time and talent to local nonprofits for 12+ hours. Our 45 creatives delivered to 12 organizations everything from new or evolved brand identities, marketing and messaging strategies, social plans and content, key collateral, photography, storyboards and videos, and website redesigns. We can’t wait to share their work here in the coming days.

We are in awe of and deeply grateful for each and every person who played a role in Make a Mark CLT 2024. Thank you to our makers for making this event possible, and our nonprofit recipients for trusting us with your projects. Thank you to our volunteers who blew up balloons, moved tables and chairs, ran errands, set up food, welcomed our guests, documented the day, and much more.

And an extra special thank you to the team for not only sponsoring us but partnering with us every step of the way. We could not do this without you, and frankly never want to.

More from us soon enough. Until then, only gratitude.
