A creative team from the Philadelphia Eagles assisted the Phoenixville Area Time Bank.

The Phoenixville Area Time Bank, a nonprofit that barters volunteers’ time and talents, recently got some big-league help from the Philadelphia Eagles’ marketing pros. It was one of 13 small- and medium-size local nonprofits that scored help from the team, reports Kevin Riordan for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Eagles’ 2021 efforts deployed a “special teams” crew comprising:

  • Graphic Designer Christine Dorn, of Norristown
  • Creative Director Sean Flanagan, of Glen Mills
  • Two additional volunteers supplying design expertise and technical assistance

The outreach is meant to give a leg up to nonprofits. It provides professional help to augment staff efforts for projects such as beefing up social media accounts, producing annual reports, and creating promotional materials. These time- and resource-consuming tasks can overwhelm a small organization, yet they are crucial to effective messaging and fundraising, said Flanagan.

“A lot of nonprofits have a small number of employees wearing a lot of hats,” he said.

To assist them, the team provided 200 hours of service throughout the year; the volunteered time was valued at $52,000 to recipient organizations last year.

“We told the nonprofits, ‘You don’t have to worry about finding the talent. We’re taking this off your plate,’” said Flanagan.

Dorn helped the Phoenixville Area Time Bank create an annual report on how the mom-and-pop organization managed to overcome challenges during the first year of the pandemic.
