We are excited to share that the 2024 IIDA Foundation Annual Giving Campaign will support Design Your World, IIDA’s education pathway program building equity and diversity in the design industry, by providing high school students with exposure to the possibilities of a career in design.

Make your gift today to help award aspiring design students with stipends to support their participation in the Design Your World program. This summer, DYW programs will be held in Chicago, St. Louis and Miami.

From April 12-19, IIDA International Board Member Joe Pettipas has pledged to match your gift dollar for dollar, doubling your impact! A gift of any amount can make a big difference in supporting a student towards their design education.

The IIDA Foundation—and you, our members—are at the heart of our organization, driving opportunities for innovation and advancement within the commercial interior design field. Our IIDA Members are highly active in their local communities.

We know philanthropy and volunteer service is important to you, and is embedded in your work ethos in the commercial interior design industry. We need the creativity, diversity and leadership of this next generation of designers.

Your gift will make a real impact on the lives of these students and the future of this industry. We hope you will join us—donate to the future of design today!
