Six Nonprofits. Six Agencies. Infinite Possibility.
Meet the 2026 cohort of Purpose, Produced
After a powerful first year, Purpose, Produced returns.
SixDegrees.org and Advertising Week have once again paired six nonprofits with six world-class agencies, each teaming up on a pro bono campaign built to bring a cause to life on a national stage.
Revealed at Advertising Week New York, these partnerships are just getting started.
Over the coming year, we'll follow each one as their campaigns take shape.
Meet the pairings below.

Become The Third Partner
Every Purpose, Produced campaign starts with two partners: a nonprofit and an agency.
There’s room for a third.
By joining as a brand partner, you’ll help carry these causes further, reaching a national audience and standing behind work that’s already making a difference.

TradesUp and The Variable
TradesUp believes a career in the trades can be creative, modern, and full of possibility. Through free, hands-on events like their signature SPARK, they invite a new and more diverse generation to pick up the tools and see it for themselves. They've found a fitting partner in The Variable, an agency that has built its name on making people care about things they'd otherwise overlook. Together, they're out to change the story of what working in the trades can be.
School on Wheels and Cylndr Studios
Every day, School on Wheels meets students experiencing homelessness where they are, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, with the tutoring and mentorship that keeps them learning through the hardest stretches. The students bring the resilience. Cylndr Studios, a design-led studio that turns big ideas into work built to travel across every platform, is helping make sure the rest of us see it too.
Love for Our Elders and Creator Camp
It started with handwritten letters, and it's grown into more than 900,000 of them, reaching older adults in all 50 states and around the world. That's the quiet power of Love for Our Elders: proof that a small act of care can cut through loneliness. Creator Camp, a collective of internet-native storytellers, is helping carry that spirit to a new audience, turning simple moments of connection into something a whole generation can feel.
Care Farming Network and Design Bridge and Partners
At Care Farming Network, people with and without developmental disabilities work the same soil, grow the same food, and build the same sense of belonging. Its Growers prove every day that meaningful work belongs to everyone. Design Bridge & Partners, a studio that believes the best brands move people, is helping tell that truth in full, so the story the world sees is as big as the one happening on the farm: one about dignity, inclusion, and what work can mean.
Family Promise Chicago North Shore and Orci
For many families facing homelessness, staying together is the first thing they're asked to give up. Family Promise Chicago North Shore refuses to accept that, keeping families whole as they find their way back to a home of their own. It's a deeply human mission, and Orci is a deeply human agency, one built on what they call the beauty and power of everyday realness. Together, they'll tell these families' stories the way they deserve to be told: in their own words.
GirlForward and Tongal
GirlForward walks alongside girls who've been displaced by conflict and persecution, girls who are refugees, immigrants, and asylum-seekers building new lives in a new country, offering mentorship, community, and room to grow. There's no single story here, which is what makes Tongal such a natural match: a platform of thousands of creators who tell stories from every angle and voice. Together, they'll help these girls be heard in all their resilience, belonging, and hope.
SixDegrees.org and Advertising Week have joined forces to launch a groundbreaking initiative amplifying the voices of six nonprofits driving real change in their communities.
