Design Community Outreach Fund fosters the study, research, and design of community-building projects.
Ensure the Future of Design!
This fund supports the study, research, and design of community-building projects that address the needs of vulnerable populations, teach design perspectives, minimize environmental impact, and provide students with opportunities to connect design with local issues.
- Discover the inspiring narratives behind the impactful projects crafted by our students.
- Learn more about our ongoing community-led design project, Incorporating Community Values into Thoughtful Urban Design.
- See how functional clothing offers comfort to infants receiving cancer treatment. This is an ongoing, student-supported project that supplies onesies for local hospitals.
Your contribution will directly empower the study, research, and design of community-building projects. Join us in shaping a future where design serves as a catalyst for social inclusion, environmental stewardship, and meaningful connections within our communities. Together, we can make a difference.
