Jax Ad Agency Grants 'Wishes' For Local Nonprofits

Wingard Creative

It’s going to be an exciting year for local nonprofits that win a visit to the "Wishing Well."The Wishing Well is a new project from local ad agency Wingard Creative. The agency is going to award a total of $50,000 in free creative services to local nonprofit organizations across the Southeast this year.

Wingard CEO Christopher Ball and founder David Wingard spoke with Melissa Ross about the initiative. 

"This is a way to be more strategic in the way we support the local nonprofit community," said Ball. "We were already doing this, but The Wishing Well organizes our efforts."

The winning nonprofits will receive everything from assistance on website design to collateral marketing materials, very valuable assets for a nonprofit trying to get their message out.

"The main thing we're offering is time," said Wingard. "We're committed to setting aside buckets of hours to this project to make sure the nonprofits we choose get our expertise in messaging."

To apply, visit WingardCreative.com.  The first application deadline is February 14.
