Moody Foundation

Project Description

The Moody Foundation has been a major philanthropic force in Texas since 1942. Founded “to benefit in perpetuity present and future generations of Texans,” the Foundation has funded countless projects encompassing community development, healthcare and human services, education, fine arts, children’s issues and more. As (mostly) Texans ourselves, Charity Dynamics was honored to work with the Moody Foundation to complete a responsive website redesign that more fully communicates their grant making, signature projects and long history of success. Building on the WordPress platform, we designed a clear and concise site using a responsive theme with several added customization’s.
