Pro Bono work – the update

As I expected it would, an earlier post highlighting some local pro bono work generated some response. Here’s a quick update on what a few other shops are working on:

DNA Advertising:
DNA Advertising teamed with Dutch Bros. Coffee and Peak Broadcasting to collect books for Mercy Housing, which is building a library for different communities. Mercy Housing helps people find affordable housing and offers after school programs for children.

DNA, along with Blackfin Technology, is also working on a re-branding campaign for The Arc.

Es/drake:
Es/drake redesigned Zoo Boise’s website.

Es/drake also donated quite a bit of time and effort to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Live Large Give Large activities earlier this year.

Others? Just let me know.

Doing more than just trying to make a buck

I have to give credit to shops that go out of their way to help their community. Oliver Russell’s o-pen purse program has been a long-standing example of such.

Today I happened upon another example.

Rizen Creative recently completed and launched a new website for the Boise Area Crime Stoppers. The site was done on a pro bono basis, led by Rizen’s Javier Barrera.

Now before everyone jumps down my throat, I’m sure that for every example such as this that I mention, there are a hundred that go unnoticed. I won’t dispute that fact. The only way I way I know to change it — send me any tips or news that you’d like to share.
