The Woodlands Cigar Club

A 501(c) that had to sound like a club, not a grant.

Website, photography, and social for a veteran-founded nonprofit — membership, Patriot Paws, and a calendar that lives on Meta.

Founded in 2023 as a small group supporting local lounges and other nonprofits, The Woodlands Cigar Club grew into a 501(c) with veteran founders, corporate memberships, and a Patriot Paws fundraising brief.

The site is the quiet headquarters: join, donate, meet the board, read the room. A nonprofit cigar club cannot sound like a nightclub, and it cannot sound like a grant application. The feed has to hold a board meeting and a service-dog fundraiser in the same month.

Meta’s Graph API keeps events and publishing in one motion so the community is not retyped into three tools. Google Business Profile is the public door. SEO is treated as a civic utility — people looking for the club, the lounge culture, and the cause should land in the same place.
