Applications for CD4SG are open! Apply by August 21

August 4, 2026 | News

Applications are now open for Capacity Canada’s annual initiative Creative Day for Social Good (CD4SG).

For many Nonprofit organizations, there’s no shortage of ideas, just not enough time, staff, or budget to make them happen. Whether it’s refreshing a website, creating a stronger brand, launching a new campaign, or telling stories that inspire donors and volunteers, communications projects often end up on the back burner while day-to-day priorities take over.

CD4SG creates a connection between organizations looking for creative support and students eager to use their skills for good. Made possible through a partnership with professors and students in Conestoga College’s Creative Industries programs, especially Graphic Design, the initiative brings together Nonprofit organizations, charities and social enterprises with emerging creative professionals for a day of focused, hands-on collaboration.

As part of the one-day, pro bono initiative, students volunteer their time and talents to work alongside organizations on real communications challenges. Together, they tackle projects such as refining a brand, developing marketing materials, strengthening digital communications or finding a clearer, more compelling way to tell an organization’s story.

Applications for Creative Day for Social Good close at midnight on August 21, and space is limited.
