What the Winner Receives

A strategy session and plan.

A logo and style guide.

A custom website.

Our goal is to launch within 3 months of the October 12 announcement.

What Everyone Receives

Everyone who applies, and every organization somebody nominates, gets a First Move note from us by the middle of October.

It's a short personal email, written after we read your application and spend a few minutes on your site and your social. One thing you're doing well, the single biggest gap we can see, and one concrete step you can take this month without hiring anybody, us included.

The top 5, including the winner, get the one hour strategy session with Dan and the written plan that comes out of it.

Why This Giveaway Exists

October 12 is the feast day of St. Carlo Acutis, who was canonized last year and is often called the patron of the internet.

He grew up like a regular kid with soccer, video games, friends. What set him apart was how he used his talents. He loved the Eucharist and had a knack for technology, so he combined the two, and as a teenager he built a website cataloguing Eucharistic miracles from around the world, so anybody could look them up.

Carlo didn't wait for the "perfect moment" or a big budget. He used what he had to serve the mission God gave him. That's what this giveaway is for: one organization that has the mission and not the tools. We're announcing the winner on October 12 because that's his feast day.

Here’s exactly how it works

Applications and nominations close Sunday, October 4

Finalist sessions, October 5 to 9

Winner announced Monday, October 12

The Marketing Foundation Giveaway is awarded by judged application. No purchase is necessary and no element of chance is involved, which makes this a judged competition and not a sweepstakes. Applications and nominations close Sunday, October 4, 2026. One winner is selected, along with 5 finalists, and the winner is one of the 5. The grant is awarded as the work described in “What the winner receives.” It has no cash value and cannot be transferred, exchanged, or substituted. Delivery: our goal is to launch within 3 months of the announcement. This is a goal and not a guaranteed date. Dan Fuerst makes the selection, and that selection is final.
