Small, direct-service nonprofit organizations in New England are eligible to apply for an award that includes a complete, professional website design. The annual award program is offered by PureVisual, a Cambridge, Mass. design firm specializing in service to nonprofits.

The award recognizes one organization that provides exemplary and innovative services on a limited budget, and it promotes the benefits of good design in the nonprofit sector. Each year, one winning nonprofit organization receives a free website design or redesign worth up to $10,000. Applicants must have 10 or fewer employees and serve a community in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, or Rhode Island.

"Direct-service organizations typically struggle to offer critical services without the access to resources that larger organizations and corporations have," said Donnie Baker, president and co-founder of PureVisual.

The deadline for submitting an application is June 28. A panel of judges representing the nonprofit community will evaluate the entries, and the winner will be announced at gala event in early September 2004.
