Design, especially physical design, is wrought with disparity.
“How can we bring design to people who need it, but either cannot afford it or don’t know how to get it?” This program is a solution to that problem.
FUNDING
Increase access to professional design services.
By making design services more affordable to social impact organizations, we will transform at least 10 impactful ideas in Central Ohio into real life projects.
