Work begins for CPC Learning Network

We recently added CPC Learning Network as a new client. CPC is a non-profit organization based at Columbia University dedicated to improving international humanitarian practice specifically for children in crises situations. We’ve been hired for two assignments. The first is to create a new brand identity for the organization which includes a logo mark. The secondary assignment is to design a website for CPC that will be the primary source for communications and collaboration for the organization and it’s partners.

The goal of the visual identity is to create an easily recognized and distinct name and logo that reflects the core mission and positioning of CPC. The goal of the website is to create an interactive network and knowledge data base for their partner organizations and policy makers. In addition, the web site will act as a forum for stakeholders to post questions and receive answers, or search knowledge-base on specific topics.

Here’s their current logo and web site: http://www.cpclearningnetwork.org

buildOn’s After School Campaign Site Launches

We worked with buildOn to develop a site dedicated to fundraising for their After School Programs, which they run in 118 high schools across the country. The site features student profiles of all 118 schools along with the ability to donate directly to the school of your choosing. Each school program costs approximately $20,000 and you can see which schools have been funded and which still need more donations. The site is part of buildOn’s efforts to show more transparency and draw attention to the needs of their after school programs. Visit http://www.buildOnafterschool.com and check it out.

buildOn improves image of Global Gala ‘09

globalgala01

800+ people attended this year’s buildOn Global Gala held at the Hilton in Stamford, CT. Courtney and Co lead the Gala Committee and produced all communications including invitation, program, environmental installations and graphics.

New to this year’s Gala was two 3-dimensional museum-quality installations where guests could purchase selected items like a chalkboard, brick or day of community service to help fund the US and International programs. A 20′ foot Discovery Wall was constructed that included 20 questions about buildOn and nudged viewers to interact with the piece to reveal the answers.

Our team traveled to Connecticut to volunteer and help set up the installations, and then stayed to attend the event. The biggest fundraising event of the year, the event raised over 1.2 Million Dollars for buildOn’s domestic and international programs. A huge success!

Here are a selection of photos from Bryan Cary.

Mali school breaks ground thanks to you

P1020443We’re back from our trip to Mali, and the ground-breaking ceremony for a schoolhouse in a tiny village about 4 hours southeast of the capital city of Bamako.

With the help of our business partners and clients we’ve taken a portion of Courtney & Co’s income over the past year and have donated it to help build a school in a deserving village in Africa. I would like to personally thank you for your patronage. By working with Courtney & Co, you’ve helped improve education in a small part of the world. As you know, education is a major key in improving social and economic conditions for struggling communities around the globe.

smallWe would especially like to thank buildOn, the organization who made this all possible. Their global network of passionate and hands-on individuals has built over 350 schools in developing nations like Haiti, Nicaragua, Nepal, Malawi and Mali. buildOn has been awarded the highest ranking 5 years running by Charity Navigator, who awards groups that have the highest percentage of donations going towards programs.
