2025 Projects Recognized by the Webby Awards

Our website project with Glisten won the Webby Award for Best Website — Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging. Creative Capital was nominated for Best Community Website. And our impact report with Acumen was nominated for Best Impact Report. All three projects happen to be our first with each of these incredible organizations. In a way, they celebrate not just the projects but also the months-long collaboration that made them possible.

Glisten: Best Website for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging — Webby Award Winner

We collaborated with Glisten for almost two years on renaming, rebranding, and rebuilding the organization’s website. Glisten (formerly GLSEN) is a national advocacy organization founded in 1990 by educators to advance justice for LGBTQ+ youth. Over three decades, it has grown into a movement of 1.5 million youth, families, educators, and advocates working to create safe, affirming schools for all. The new name honors how many people already pronounced the acronym, while expressing what the network actually stands for today. The redesigned website, built around the deep connection and belonging that drives the Glisten community, prioritizes the different needs of students, educators, researchers, policymakers, and advocates — making it easier to find a local chapter, start or join a student group, and access critical resources.

Creative Capital for Artists: Best Community Website

Creative Capital has been supporting visionary artists since 1999, providing unrestricted grants, professional development, and community-building services that foster thriving careers. We partnered with the foundation on a redesigned brand identity and website that centers artists and their work while serving as a hub for resources and opportunities to advance their careers. The new website has become an easy-to-use platform for accessing learning opportunities, financial resources, professional development, and more.

Acumen: Best Impact Report

Acumen — named to Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies list in the Not-for-Profit category — is a global force of entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists working together to solve problems of poverty. 

The annual impact report focuses on two urgent and interconnected challenges: climate resilience and energy access. The interactive report brings stories to life through photography, data visualizations, and profiles of the people driving this work on the ground.

In climate resilience, the report highlights investments in companies helping farmers access climate-smart agricultural products and services; from a Colombian company preserving native cacao while boosting grower income, to a drone-based imaging startup in India helping 50,000 farmers across seven states reduce pesticide and water use. In energy access, the report shares how Acumen’s Hardest-to-Reach initiative invested catalytic capital in off-grid solar for underserved markets, reaching over 165,000 people by year’s end and 83% of whom accessed electricity for the first time. 

Acumen calls for more capital, creativity, courage, and resolve in the fight against poverty, which is why it was exciting to collaborate creatively on a report designed to share that impact in a compelling way. Explore the interactive report here.

We are grateful for the organizations that trust us with their brands, websites, and reports and for having the opportunity to support the communities those projects serve.
