Design Workshop Foundation

Design Workshop Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to empowered and thriving communities for future generations. We partner with communities to catalyze transformative change through design assistance, capacity building, and education. What does success look like? Transformational change requires a cohort of innovative thinkers and changemakers such as health experts, facilitators, community leaders and advocates, policy makers, non-profits, academics, allied professionals, designers and planners. We hold ourselves accountable and measure progress against the following areas of impact: • Advance social, economic and environmental equity in the lived environment • Build community resilience and adaptation • Diversify perspectives in design and planning Where we started. Design Workshop Foundation was established in 2002 by Design Workshop, Inc, with founding board members creating a vision to leverage the resources of the firm in service to communities. Today, DW Foundation carries on that legacy by working shoulder to shoulder with communities to expand the reach of design, planning and placemaking services.
