Since our founding in 1981, we have worked tirelessly to provide access to high-quality programming, education, initiatives, and public art installations and host community workshops that bring people together. Our efforts have reached thousands of residents across Philadelphia, helping enrich our city’s cultural fabric and inspiring the next generation of designers.

However, we need your support to continue our work and expand our impact. We rely on the generosity of individuals like you to sustain our programs and keep our doors open to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Your donation will directly contribute to:

• Quality Programming: Offering low-cost events like personal branding series, design system education, personal development, locally sourced,  and wellness events.
• Workshops: Providing safe, inclusive spaces for people to create and collaborate on continuing their self-worth such as our figma workshop and new for this year, a student mock interview workshop.
• Designer Support: Offering resources and opportunities for local designers to find the tools they need to develop their craft and share their work with the community.
• Initiatives: Our first-ever design census, UX mentorship program, and more.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, and your contribution will help us continue to be there for the community.
