Our clients change the world and we love being a part of that. Since 1994 weve helped hundreds of nonprofits improve their branding campaigns and fundraising efforts. Heres a list of some of our recent and current clients.
Big Duck proactively works to improve our diversity equity and inclusion knowledge and abilities because doing so is critical to the success of Big Duck and of our clients missions. As we continuously learn and grow we apply these lenses to our work and to how we run our company. As part of this effort all Big Duck employees participate in a daylong training on racial equity led by Race Forward. Our in-house equity committee (that all staff take part in) meets monthly to build our collective capacity and consciousness and leads projects that embed equity into our work. We also partner with other consultants who help us infuse equity more deeply into Big Ducks culture and practices.
Big Duck regularly holds open houses to connect with individuals and nonprofits whod like to learn more about us. Each open house includes a brief overview of our work a Q amp; A session with one or more of our staff members and the opportunity to ask questions and network.
