We believe that design has the power to unlock organizational and business growth and move people to action. That's why each year, we award the Good Egg Grant to one Chicagoland nonprofit organization, sharing our services free-of-charge to tell their story with the power of design. By partnering with one organization for a full year, we deliver thoughtful and thorough design solutions to local nonprofits whose critical work and programs strengthen our communities and catalyze social change and justice. From full brand identity refreshes, to website builds, to messaging strategies, we collaborate with you every step of the way to build tailored strategy and design solutions that work for your team, amplify your mission, and inspire your audiences.

Center on Halsted

What started as an HIV/AIDS hotline in the 70s, Center on Halsted has since grown into the largest and oldest LGBTQ+ community center in the Midwest. Their work advances the community and secures the health & well-being of LGBTQ+ people of Chicagoland.

 

We developed a robust messaging system and a refreshed visual identity that resonates with Center on Halsted's expanding audience. Rooted in community panels, interviews and surveys, the strategy represents Center on Halsted as a familiar and steadfast resource for all LGBTQ+ Chicagoans, here for a lifetime.

Our 2026 application is closed. If you're interested in next year’s grant, reach out.
