Considering the nature of this startup won't you eventually need not just a logo but a website? And ads, other promotions, viral marketing, an online campaign of some kind? Are you just going to create the videos and post them on YouTube and hope for the best?
Instead of trying to get some mediocre college student trust fund hipster to work for free, why not take a real designer on board and make them part of the company? Give them actual equity in the company in exchange for their work and then you will never will to worry about this issue again.

Yeah but you're trying to compare an industry that is extremely hard to break into (professional filmmaker) with one where there is a ton of paying work (graphic design). It seems logical to work for free in the first kind of industry, not so much in the second one.
Are you expecting the guy who creates your company's legal documents to work for free? What about your hosting, will you not host a website unless you get it for free? Why is it that people think graphic design can be done for free, compared to everything else?

many people work for nothing on their free time, either for their pleasure or for a good cause. Some even try to help by using their professional skills. See pr2 as a case where some graphic designer could give some of their free time for a good casue, using their pro skills.

Alright I honestly don't need to say it but. No http://www.no-spec.com/
In all honesty if you are running a non-profit short of asking your friends for a favor, ( and designer's do not appreciate these requests ).. or asking a student for a class credit. You're just creating a bad pr stunt for your start-up non profit in my opinion.
- And what's wrong with just asking for help from within your organization someone has to have some artistic skill.Iggyboo

Listen, the fact that a start up has no money what-so-ever doesn't lie too good with me as after all there are at least some basic expenses (in a way even the $250 as a "prize" would go a long way to get some great response from students) but despite of that i'm willing to give it a try and see how it goes.
