We are excited to share that we received $100,000 in donated professional services for re-branding the Hopkins Education Foundation from Little & Company in Minneapolis. Little’s design and copywriting team met with HEF staff, board members and community members in 2023, and then created a new brand platform, graphic design elements and HEF logo. We will reveal our new branding and website at the Royal Bash on March 2, 2024
