Over the course of the project, each nonprofit received $25,000 of value for a total value $1.2M delivered.

I don’t code or design. Can I help?

We need all kinds of volunteers, not just designers and developers. We need people to do setup, teardown, make badges, put in content, project management, etc. If you are interested, let us know.

How will you do it?

That is the magical question isn’t it? We admit, this is a big undertaking and is going to take a lot of work. Without getting into all of the details, each nonprofit will be assigned a team of one designer and two developers that will do the work on their site. We have taken the time to come up with several processes that will expedite the design and development work, but rest assured, this project will live up to its name and all sites will be designed and developed within the 48-hour span. If you are curious about the details of how we will accomplish this and want to see it unfold, we would love for you to volunteer to help!
