These days good charities need to view themselves more as businesses with a social objective. They need to generate income that they invest into the cause as well as building their brands and growing their people, says Hubbard. "Part of that investment in their brands is paying their partners, and although we might work at a reduced fee, we generally don’t work pro bono.” The product is not yet available to the public, and is still undergoing research. But the early results are promising, and we’re excited to see what becomes of it. How Can I Get Involved in Design for Good? Cristina Fedi, former head of brand at Bryon Burgers, was won over by the One Feeds Two rebrand that caught her eye on Facebook. "We’d been looking for a charity partner that matched Byron in its individual and simple approach, with a similarly bold and eye-catching design. One Feeds Two stood out straight away: it had a strong logo that could communicate the idea without explanation, a beautifully designed visual identity that put a smile on our face, and we knew it could sit harmoniously alongside our own brand on our menus, leaflets and digital media."

Keep it unfashionably in style. Good design never looks dated or antiquated. Classic, clean looks help prevent the unwanted signature styling that pegs a product to an era and makes it discardable. Think about exactly what you want to accomplish and envision it. You can’t support every mission. You have to be precise about what exactly it is you’re hoping to change. And the more concise and transparent you can be, the more genuine support you’re going to receive and the more organized you’ll appear.
