Nonprofits Invited to Apply for Pro-bono Web Sites
Nashville – Area nonprofit groups are invited to apply for design of a new web site created by students at The Art Institute of TN - Nashville as part of the school’s community service initiative. The design services will be provided at no charge through the college’s annual Web Raising, which gives students an opportunity to apply their art and design skills to projects that support the needs of community organizations.WebRaising is based on the idea of an old-fashioned barnraising. At no cost to the community organizations, the WebRaising team combines their creative and technical expertise to build a new Web site for a non-profit group in their community. The final “raising” of the site takes place on a single day during April, which is National Volunteer Month. The target launch date is April 19, 2008.
The Art Institute of TN – Nashville is offering a 4-6 page brochure type web site along with a custom designed blog. This type of web site would be very beneficial to new or smaller organizations.
To apply for project assistance from the college, local nonprofit groups must fill out a Project Application and a Preliminary Requirements Analysis, available by emailing a request to bjlong@aii.edu. The Art Institute reviews all requests to determine feasibility and appropriateness. Deadline for submission is April 4 2008.
The Art Institute of TN - Nashville is one of The Art Institutes (www.artinstitutes.edu), with over 40 education institutions located throughout North America, providing an important source of design, media arts, fashion and culinary arts professionals.
