Giving The Gift Of Pixels

A few days ago, I was discussing the option of budget selectors on contact forms and debating whether or not having one was a good thing. One of the areas of discussion was about working for non-profits and possible pro-bono projects which left me thinking a bit more. A result of which is this post and what I plan on doing: I’m looking to take on some pro-bono projects for people that deserve it and for projects that I can really get behind. I’m not limiting this directly to non-profits either as I would like to include small business owners or individuals that still need the help but don’t necessarily have the funds for it.

I’m not sure yet how many of these I plan on doing but I’m considering making it a regular occurrence within my project calendar. Along with these, I still have paid projects to work on and bills to pay so I won’t be able to take on each request that comes my way but will be doing my best!

And now for the purpose of this post. I need your help in getting the word to the folks that need the help. If you know of any people in this category, please send them this way and if you get requests through for pro-bono projects that you decide not to take on, please send those here too.

I have shrunk down a link for you to pass along so it’s easier to remember/tweet etc. Please pass this along and consider tweeting: http://j.mp/9x9zX I have also set up a dedicated email address for requests of this kind where people can get in touch with their project details. So, if you’re one of the folks looking for help or to get in touch, you can email me here: probono@davemcnally.net

Thanks for your time, here’s hoping it’s a success!

Good man! I'm doing something similar where I'm working on Saturdays in exchange for a £99 donation to dogstrust http://thedogsbody.com. Best of luck to you, and I hope you enjoy that fuzzy warm feelings that comes from doing something good.
