  • Support may include: logo design, flyer design, branded assets for social media
  • Note: We devised this project to connect nonprofits and volunteers for more flexible, more immediate impact. We strongly suggest you start with 4 weeks and decide from there if you'd like to continue working.
Additional details

We need digital content created for our virtual doula summit in 2021. We would need:
-promotion banner
-email header

What we have in place
  • We currently have examples from a previous event which should make it easy for you to get started.
How this will help

This will help us spread the word about our upcoming event through social media and email using a consistent design.
