Rhodes Fundraising
Fundraising advice & grant writing services for nonprofits

Philanthropy tends to have a reputation for being more conservative, but Rhodes Fundraising—an organization working with nonprofits in arts & culture, historic preservation, health & human services, and the environment—demanded a forward-looking approach. 

We crafted a logo that channels both the power of the sun and the symbol of a spinning gear to convey motion and progress. The visual identity manages to feel modern and timeless at once, mixing warmth and approachablility with confidence and polish.
