Make a Mark CLT 2025

Are you a graphic designer, copywriter, web developer, social media strategist, photographer, videographer, or any other creative type who loves to give back? Are you a local nonprofit with a project or specific branding or marketing need? Let us hear from you.

Applications

We look forward to learning more about you, and how you might either contribute to or benefit from our next make-a-thon on November 15, 2025. Check back in late spring when we’ll open applications.

Makers

Volunteer to be a maker

We cannot pull this off without the incredible talent of our makers, who are selected based on the skillsets we need to assemble for the nonprofits’ projects. We invite creative members of the community to register for the event and tell us about their skillsets and experience, so that we can utilize them in the right ways.

Nonprofits

Apply to be a recipient

We aim to serve as many nonprofits each year as possible. As part of our process, we ask that you complete an application to tell us about your organization and how we can help you further your cause or deepen your impact. From there, we interview those organizations with projects we feel strongly can be completed in 12 hours.

  • We are thrilled and honored to be sponsored by the team at Do Greater Charlotte, who is also our planning partner and event host. Fun fact: the lab's branding was developed by a talented team at Make a Mark CLT 2020!
