It started with a pile of rocks.
About fifteen years ago, our team spent a day on a trail rehab project, hauling and hammering rock under the sun. It was good. It was fun. We got out from behind the computer. We would do it again tomorrow.
But somewhere in the middle of it, a thought took hold: We were a team of marketers and creatives and digital strategists, and while any group can swing a hammer, very few can do what we do all day.
What if we put those skills to work for a nonprofit instead? We could move a mission further in a few weeks than we could move rocks in a year.
That idea became Noble Deeds. Every year since, we have selected one mission-driven nonprofit and given it the full attention of our team. Today, applications for our 2027 cycle are open until August 10.
First, we listen
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all. Some organizations need a new website. Others need a rebrand, a sharper message or a digital campaign that finally reaches the right people. So before we build anything, we start with an audit and assessment to understand where you are and where you are trying to go. From there, we shape a custom scope of work around your actual goals.
That is how we worked with our two most recent recipients. Emma White, Founder and President of Life is Worth It, shared what the partnership meant for her organization in this Q&A. So did Brian Bosma, Executive Director of Family Respite Care of Nevada, here. Different organizations, different needs, the same approach. Listen first, then build.
Who We Are Looking For
We focus on small and mid-sized nonprofits with a powerful mission and limited marketing resources to match. Our priority sectors are Health and Human Services, Education and Youth Development. The strongest applicants tend to share a few things in common:
- 501(c)(3) status in good standing
- At least three years of operation
- A track record of real, measurable impact
- The readiness and team capacity to scale
If that sounds like your organization, we want to hear from you. Not sure how to make your application stand out? We put together a few tips for applying to help.
Here is How it Works
Applications are open from July 20 through August 10, 2026. We review every submission for mission alignment, impact and partnership readiness, and top applicants are invited to talk with our team. The recipient is announced on Noble Deeds Day, and we get to work.
We do this once a year, for one organization. If your nonprofit is ready to grow, do not wait until the deadline sneaks up. Apply at https://noblestudios.com/noble-deeds/, and reach us anytime at deeds@noblestudios.com with questions.
