The iBec Embrace Purpose GRant

We believe that all organizations, regardless of their budget, should have access to the resources they need to make a meaningful impact.

In today’s digital age, having an online presence is crucial for non-profits to establish credibility, raise awareness, reach donors, and communicate with their stakeholders. However, for many non-profit organizations, limited budgets can make it challenging to invest in high-quality web or marketing services. That’s why iBec Creative is proud to offer our Embrace Purpose Grant specifically for non-profits. 


We believe that all organizations, regardless of their budget, should have access to the resources they need to make a meaningful impact. With our expertise in websites and digital marketing, we are excited to partner with Maine non-profit organizations to help them achieve their goals and make a difference in their communities.
