We are passionate about designing spaces that positively impact the health and well-being of the people that they serve.

Giving Design works to create healing environments by making design services and products available to organizations that provide a community benefit by improving health and well-being. We do this by partnering with businesses, skilled volunteers and other non-profits to connect design beneficiaries with the services, products and labor they need.

Our mission is to connect the skills and resources of our design community with those who might not otherwise have access to design’s positive impact.

We recognize that design requires experience, skill and knowledge that ordinarily comes at a high price. We acknowledge that, for many, the price of design makes it a luxury.

We believe strongly that design improves quality of life, and that the value of design is too important to be a luxury.

We know that the design community, of which the members of Giving Design are a part of, is populated with generous and involved practitioners who are committed to expanding access to good design for everyone, particularly those to whom it may seem beyond reach.
