TYTHE is now offering pro bono design strategy services on a rolling application basis. We encourage nonprofits, community-based organizations and small social ventures looking for support to apply. If selected, we will design a session based on the needs of your team: a two-hour capacity-building workshop or a two-hour strategy design session. Whether you are looking to reinvigorate your team, processes, or community engagement, we hope this opportunity will provide you with a strategy framework that can be reused in a variety of contexts.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Part of TYTHE’s mission is to integrate pro bono work into our portfolio on a regular basis. We are committed to sharing our expertise with our community and with those who can most significantly benefit from our services. Even a little bit of design and strategy expertise can provide the tools needed to help organizations creatively manage difficult challenges.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

For our pro bono services, we will accept applications on a rolling basis, review the applications, and, based on the needs of the applicant, notify recipients to schedule a capacity-building workshop or strategic working session. If you do not meet the criteria for pro bono support at this time, we will notify you and encourage you to reapply. We typically select one project every two months.
