Giving Tuesday: Shout out to our Non-profit Clients and Favorite Causes!

Dec 2

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, we’re shining a light on our non-profit clients and sharing several other causes that are dear to our team members: CORE Group, the Check-6 Foundation, Cornerstones, World Learning, World Central Kitchen, Paws of War, Arizona Community Doula Collective, Everytown for Gun Safety, Guma’ Mami, and the ASPCA.

Current Client: CORE Group

CORE convenes the practitioners and public health professionals in global community health to share knowledge, evidence, and best practices, and then translates these into the real world with a direct impact, creating new standards in clinical and public health as it advances dialogue at the country and global levels. Cate Urban Communications has provided numerous services over the years including website maintenance for the main site as well as the development of multiple project websites including: Zip, CGPP, and Agency for All.

Past Client: Check-6 Foundation

The Check-6 Foundation has assisted hundreds of veterans in need, pay their bills, get medical attention, find jobs and so much more. They continue to provide an unforgettable experience to children battling serious illnesses (and their families) through the Pilot for a Day Program nationwide. Cate Urban Communications built their site on a Wix Platform all the way back in 2018.

Cornerstones

Cornerstones helps neighbors in need overcome tough economic times in Fairfax County, Virginia. Their success is built on a comprehensive array of programs, wrap-around services that solve urgent or on-going requirements for housing, childcare, food or financial assistance all with the goal to sustain healthy families, secure housing, and financial independence. In May 2025, 21,705 Fairfax County residents were unemployed. That’s 35% higher than last year, so the urgency to support this organization is dire.

World Learning

World Learning has worked to create a more peaceful and just world for nearly a century. Their education, development, and exchange programs help people find their voices, connect with their communities, strengthen the institutions that form the backbone of a democracy, and build relationships across cultures.

I chose the following non-profits because they are doing incredible work in my home country of Ukraine — one providing meals, the other rescuing people and pets affected by the war.

World Central Kitchen (WCK)

WCK is first to the frontlines, providing fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Their work is guided by a belief that food is a universal human right.

Paws of War

Paws of War’s mission is to alleviate the suffering of veterans, first responders and their families, particularly those battling invisible wounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by providing them with loyal service dogs that become not just companions but also catalysts for healing. Simultaneously, they rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats in dire straits, often plucking them from the brink of despair and giving them a new chance at life.

Arizona Community Doula Collective

Arizona Community Doula Collective is a nonprofit organization that offers free and sliding scale, full spectrum doula services including birth and postpartum support, doula trainings, and free community classes. Their mission is to advance reproductive equity in Arizona by creating accessible birth and postpartum care for all families. The collective believes in the power of community and strive to bring back the tradition of collective support, connecting families with vital resources and evidence-based education.

Everytown for Gun Safety

Everytown for Gun Safety is the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. Everytown works to end gun violence in America by registering voters, electing gun safety candidates, demanding action from elected officials, and changing how Americans think about gun violence in their communities.

Guma’ Mami

The Guma’ Mami organization provides critical resources and help to people with disabilities on the Island of Guam. Guma’ Mami means “our home” in Chamorro. This group works tirelessly to make sure people with disabilities on Guam receive critical support to thrive and flourish in the community.

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

I shared an office with the ASPCA and saw the passion and dedication they brought to animal rescue and protection. I have shared memories with many pets throughout my life. Pets are our best friends and need our help. The ASPCA is there to provide this service.

Cate Urban

I founded Urban Web Renovations after 11 years of leading global marketing strategies for nonprofit organizations in Washington, DC. In each position I held, one thing remained the same – my passion for managing web sites and social media accounts for both organizations and major thought leaders.
