# Non-Profit Phone Design Contests CrowdCases Partners with a Different Organization Each Week By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-05-13 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crowdcases References: [crowdcases](http://www.crowdcases.com/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/CrowdCases) CrowdCases is the new venture consisting of a community of graphic designers "using art to change the world." Each week, a specific cause and non-profit organization is used to catapult a group of graphic designers to come up with a phone case design that corresponds with the mission of the organization itself. The cases are available for [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-x-casetify-collection) and and [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-accessories) Galaxy. The ephemeral quality adds to the cachet: each case is sold for a week only. What's more, the whole process operates as a sort of monetized contest: the winning designer will receive $500. Seven dollars of each case goes to the non-profit organization. CrowdCases attempts to do and meld a lot of various approaches to entrepreneurship and social business that are decidedly du jour: crowdsourcing, charity by the sale and tech. **Contact Information** CrowdCases [website](http://www.crowdcases.com/) CrowdCases on Facebook ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Crowdsourced Design:** Opportunity for businesses to engage with their community and crowdsource design ideas to create innovative products or services. - **Charity by the Sale:** Disruptive innovation opportunity by incorporating charitable giving as a part of the sales strategy, appealing to socially conscious consumers. - **Limited Edition Products:** Capitalizing on the sense of exclusivity and urgency by offering limited edition products that are available for a short period of time. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Graphic design companies can explore partnerships with non-profit organizations to create custom designs that align with their mission and help raise funds. - **Phone Accessories:** Opportunity for phone accessory manufacturers to collaborate with designers to create unique and socially conscious phone cases that appeal to consumers. - **Tech Startups:** Tech startups can leverage the power of crowdsourcing and social impact to develop innovative business models and products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metaverse Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-zepeto.md) - [Female Empowering Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/her-impact-matters.md) - [Recycled Phonecase Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journey-to-rebirth.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Pop Artist-Collaborative Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-and-andy-warhol.md) - [Collaboration Artistic Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-accessories.md) - [AI-Generated Phone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets.md) - [High-Tech Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-case-30.md) - [Branded Technology Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-x-casetify-collection.md)
