Fund

A brand that funds student’s dreams by engaging high-level and local donors

Frankie Valente’s Scholarship Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping EMS/EMT students to successfully graduate by taking on their financial burden. Created by Frankie’s parents after he passed in the line of duty, helping others during the COVID pandemic.

The goal is to provide financial support to young people who are pursuing their passions and making a positive impact in their communities. By taking care of the financial burden emergency students face, the Fund seeks to become a nationwide beacon of hope.

The Issue we needed to tackle: They came out to us with one goal, building a brand with high exposure to attract donors and support, to finance as many EMS/EMT students as possible.

About The Project

The new color palette adds to the website feeling elegant, and modern while remaining approachable. We allocated specific sections of content to share Frankie’s story, and how the brand is keeping it alive. Community is a significant aspect of this brand, which is why we designated a section to feature the students who benefitted from the Fund.

As we created the structure and concept for the new website, we made sure the purpose was easily recognizable, and the positive impact of each donation was clear. The new layout offers an easy-to-navigate design for donors and potential scholars to connect with the Fund. Additionally, it communicates a story and showcases information that invites people to sympathize with the Fund’s ambition.
