Cornershop Celebrates the New Year with $10,000 in Donations

We’re so grateful to our team, our clients, and our partners for all of the ways you’ve helped Cornershop Creative grow and improve in 2020. It was a wild and strange year, so we were especially glad we could continue to support so many awesome nonprofit organizations, deploying more than 50 projects and maintaining nearly 150 WordPress websites.

To celebrate the end of each year, the Cornershop team traditionally donates to at least a few organizations whose work we admire and respect. This year, we felt this contribution was even more important than ever before.

After team nominations and discussion, we were able to contribute $1,000 each to ten great organizations. We hope you’ll join us in supporting these and other amazing nonprofits this holiday season.

Check out our picks for 2020:

Black Voters Matter

Black Voters Matter’s goal is to increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities. They seek to intentionally build on existing relationships via their door-to-door canvassing, texting, phone banking, social media, and radio messaging.

Child’s Play

Since 2003, Child’s Play has worked to improve the lives of children with toys and games in their network of over 185 hospitals worldwide.

Democratic Redistricting Campaign

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee, chaired by the 82nd Attorney General of the United States Eric H. Holder, Jr., is the first-ever strategic hub for a comprehensive redistricting strategy.

Electronic Frontier Foundation

Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development.

National Popular Vote

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It has been enacted into law by 15 states and DC with 196 electoral votes. It needs an additional 74 electoral votes to go into effect.

ProjectQ

ProjectQ provides free gender affirming haircuts, self empowering workshops, and many more services for LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness.

The Trans Cultural District
