For workplaces

A team activity that
actually means something.

We arrive with supplies, prompts, and a plan for action. Your team makes handmade cards for isolated seniors. Two hours. Lasting impact. Zero prep on your end.

Hello by Hand workplace activation, team making handmade cards together.
Why it works

Real CSR.
Not a pizza party.

Employees want to experience a sense of purpose, not perks. An HBH activation puts them together in the same room, working with their hands, and creating something meaningful for someone who will actually receive what they make. A rare first-hand opportunity to create impact.

Cards reach real people

Every card is hand-delivered to a partner care facility. Mail call becomes the best part of someone's afternoon.

Cost & logistics

How pricing works.

We don't publish a flat rate, since a 30-person breakroom popup and a 500-person floor activation cost differently. For corporate activations we charge a supplies and logistics fee, with sponsorship options that can help cover delivery routes. Tell us your headcount and dates in the form below and we'll follow up with a clear quote within two business days, before you commit to anything.

Some called it therapeutic. The team was touched to be able to make a difference in someone's life.

I've participated in many volunteering activities. Something about card-making made me feel peace inside.

Before you book

What People teams and CSR leads ask us.

Don't see your question? Write us at hbh@artlyworld.org. We read everything.

What does it cost, and how is it priced?

We don't have a flat rate. For corporate activations we charge a supplies and logistics fee, with sponsorship options that can help cover delivery routes, and the amount depends on your group size and date. Fill out the form below with your headcount and timing and we'll follow up with a clear quote within two business days.

How much lead time do you need?

Two weeks minimum. More notice gives us more flexibility on dates, room setup, and staffing, especially for groups over 100 people.

What's the minimum and maximum group size?

We host activations for teams of 30 to 500 people. If your group falls outside that range, mention it in the form and we'll let you know what's possible.

Do you travel outside Austin?

We're based in Austin and serve the Austin area plus select cities. Tell us your location in the request form and we'll confirm whether we can bring an activation to you.

How long does a session run?

It depends on group size. Smaller teams can wrap in under two hours. Our last large corporate activation ran 6 hours with a built-in lunch break. We'll size the schedule to your headcount on the planning call.

What does my team actually do during the session?

Your team makes handmade cards for isolated seniors in care facilities. We bring the supplies and card prompts, set up the stations, and lead the group through the process, so people just show up and get right to making. Every card is later hand-delivered to a partner care facility.

What space or room setup do we need to provide?

You provide the room and enough seating for your group, whether that's a breakroom, a conference room, or a full floor. We bring the supplies and set up the stations ourselves, and we'll walk through the specifics of your space on the planning call.

Can remote or hybrid teams take part?

This is an in-person activation. Being in the same room, working with your hands, is a big part of what makes it land, so we don't offer a remote or virtual version. If your team is hybrid, talk to us about a date when as many people as possible can be in the room.

Do you handle accessibility needs?

Yes. Accessibility is part of the planning call, tell us what your team needs and we'll set up the room and stations accordingly.

What do we get afterward for our CSR report?

We provide sign-in sheets and a letter documenting volunteer hours, plus an impact report after every activation showing how many cards were made and roughly how many people were reached. No extra admin on your side.

Is this tax-deductible?

Hello by Hand is an initiative of Artly World, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The supplies and logistics fee covers the cost of running your activation, so it works like paying for a service rather than a donation, and typically isn't deductible on its own. If you'd like to add a separate contribution, ask your finance team to confirm deductibility, or write to us and we'll send documentation.
