Volunteer: Design a Launch Deck for CH

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

We are seeking a communications-minded graphic designer to help transform our existing copy and sequence into a simple, elegant prospectus deck for potential patrons of CH. We have the basic content, narrative flow, logo, and a distinctive “flip note” graphic that should inspire the visual direction. The designer will bring both strong presentation-design skills and communications expertise to refine the flow, strengthen the messaging where needed, and create a cohesive visual experience. The deck should feel polished, warm, clear, and inviting, with a flipbook-like quality. It will introduce CH, communicate the project’s vision and value, and invite prospective patrons to learn more and consider supporting or engaging with the work. We are looking for someone with a strong eye for typography, composition, pacing, and visual storytelling—someone who can make the deck feel both elevated and accessible without overdesigning it.

Create an approximately 10-slide prospectus deck for CH, based on our existing copy, sequence, logo, and flip note graphic. The final deck should: - Introduce CH and its purpose clearly - Present the opportunity in a compelling, easy-to-follow way - Use the flip note graphic as a central visual reference - Incorporate our logo and a cohesive visual identity - Create a simple, elegant, flipbook-like experience - Include light copy editing or messaging recommendations where helpful - Be suitable for sharing with prospective patrons - Be delivered as an editable presentation file The project should include an initial design direction, a complete 10-slide deck, and one to two rounds of revisions. A reusable template or basic style guidance for future updates would be helpful.

Climate House US (“Climate House”) Mission: Climate House is a creative think tank using the arts to illustrate actionable pathways forward—and bring them to life. Our Mythos Embodied Climate: Climate change is not the abstract, technical issue it’s often framed to be–but a universal, ambient one experienced through our bodies and daily lives. CH communicates using universal sensory language, to reintegrate our understanding of climate change as real in the felt sense, and as a core defining issue shaping everything around us. Universal Sensory Language: By speaking this universal language of the senses, we can communicate in a language everyone speaks and understands. This helps reframe climate as an everyone issue–providing an opportunity for the general public to reclaim their agency in understanding it and engaging with its solutions creatively, collaboratively, and meaningfully. Culture-First: Culture is the fabric of daily life. CH uses a broad suite of cultural tools to meet people where they are, designing programming that is audience-tailored and culture-first, recognizing this as the carrier oil for engaging with more complex topics. Show-not-tell: Because seeing is believing, we design programs that show, not tell. All of our programs are seared with a blueprint, grounding solutions on the experiential plane, allowing our audience to feel solutions that are so actionable, they can taste them.
