Make a Mark Selects 14 Chattanooga Nonprofits

Time to celebrate! 14 organizations across the city were selected for The Chattanooga Make-a-Thon, a 12-hour design and development marathon benefiting local nonprofit and humanitarian causes.

We received over 50 amazing applications from some of the most incredible nonprofits in our community. We were fortunate to be able to interview many of these nonprofits and were humbled by their work. It was a difficult decision, but we are excited to announce the nonprofits that we will be working with for this event.
