Doing Good Work

C5 + NONPROFIT PARTNERS COLUMN FIVE 2
Our work is more than a job;
it’s a reflection of who we
are and what we want to put
out into the world.
With our collective skills, we have the unique opportunity to tell
meaningful stories that connect with audiences and move them to action.
It’s a capability we are fortunate to have, and we feel compelled to
do as much good with it as we can. That’s why we love to work with
nonprofit partners who share our values.
Our Five Columns values
guide everything we do,
from the projects we
work on to the way we
work with each other.
1) DO GOOD WORK
2) VALUE OUR PARTNERS
3) BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER
4) BE HUMBLE
5) EXPERIMENT OFTEN

We believe in doing good work in every way,
creating content that is beautiful and contributes
to the world. Through our nonprofit partnerships,
we get to do both. And because these are
special relationships, we treat them differently
than our regular partnerships.
Nonprofit Discounts
We know that running a nonprofit is a
unique challenge. Although there is plenty
of dedication, there isn’t always a large
budget. To help this, we offer discounted
rates for our services. We want your
organization get the best work—and the
most bang for your buck.
Pro-Bono Work
Giving back is in our company DNA. Each
quarter, we choose a project to work on
for free, donating our time and services
to a cause we believe in. This brings our
team together and empowers us to use
our skills to practice what we preach. We
love getting to flex our creative muscles,
collaborate, and share our passion with
amazing partners.

Parker raise $54,000 for the AIDS/LifeCycle. The site featured a
documentary, education, resources, and a section for users to
share their own stories.
