Nominations are now being accepted as Cool Blue Interactive celebrates the 5th Anniversary of Grow Your Cause (GYC), the award-winning web design, development and marketing firm’s annual pro-bono initiative that supports metro-Atlanta nonprofits.

Launched in 2008, Cool Blue dedicates resources to GYC each year to enhance a community-based organization’s web presence and support its mission – from Community Life Concepts (CLC) in 2008 to the Georgia Network to End Sexual Assault (GNESA) in 2011.

Organizations can be nominated through Sept. 30, 2012, and a winner will be announced Nov. 1, 2012. Cool Blue will then commence work on the project tentatively scheduled for completion in June 2013.

“Grow Your Cause helped us improve our web presence substantially while allowing us to continue dedicating resources to those who need our services,” says Diann Jenkins, founder and CEO of Community Life Concepts. “Cool Blue turned a limited webpage into an interactive website and gave us a sophisticated channel through which we could tell our story.”

“With so much of our time and money focused on helping victims of sexual assault in Georgia, we may never have been able to establish such an effective web presence without Cool Blue and Grow Your Cause,” says Jennifer Bivins, president and CEO of GNESA.

Nonprofits can be nominated through the Grow Your Cause website or by emailing social@coolbluei.com. Eligible organizations must meet a short list of requirements.
