McGuffin Creative Group Announces 2025 Marketing Grant for Nonprofits

Applications are now open for the 2025 McGuffin Grant, created by Chicago-based marketing and advertising agency McGuffin Creative Group, to help a 501(c)(3) nonprofit further its mission with $30,000 in creative services.

An online application for the 2025 grant is available at mcguffincg.com/grant and must be submitted by April 25, 2025 at 11:59pm CT. The grant is open to any 501(c)(3) organization seeking design and marketing help to further its mission.

"We just concluded our 20^th year in business and, looking back over the years, the grant program is one of the things I'm most proud of," says Chris Sculles, McGuffin's president. "I'm so happy to continue equipping nonprofits with the marketing strategy and creative they need to advance their vital work."

Launched in 2011, the McGuffin Grant gives one nonprofit recipient per year the expertise and guidance of the McGuffin team, totaling $30,000 in work. The scope of that work is defined by the client's needs and goals, which might include building a more compelling brand, launching a fundraising campaign, or designing materials to help a brand take root or expand its reach.

The recipient of the 2024 McGuffin Grant was On Angels' Wings, an organization that provides free therapeutic photography and grief recovery services for families navigating the loss of an infant at birth or the care of a child with a potentially life-limiting condition.

Founded in 2004, McGuffin Creative Group provides a range of marketing services, including branding, digital communications and print communications, to clients in the banking, financial services and healthcare industries.
