Inspire, Innovate & Educate Through Design
Design is more than a powerful source of inspiration. It is an integral tool that connects communities and creates equity, which is why we think it’s so important to provide Chicago’s residents and visitors with a free and accessible museum focused on design.
In the last six years, more than 100,000 people have participated in over 160 programs, and visited 15 Design Museum exhibitions. Next year, we are building on this strong foundation. With your support, we are poised for the future, planning more exhibitions and events, making opportunities through our robust internship program, and making design accessible to all.
To keep this up, we need your help.
Make Design Accessible
Provide free admission for five visitors, keeping the Design Museum free and open to the public
Strengthen Community
Cover hard costs for one opening reception or panel discussion, building a neutral space for the community
Empower Critical Thinking
Add two design books or 20 magazines to our library, used as reference materials as we design exhibitions
Encourage Understanding
Provide supplies like x-actos, pens, notebooks, or hammers for one design workshop
Cultivate Connections
Supply hard working volunteers with critical tools, paint, and pizza as they work together
Make Opportunities
Provide one intern with a stipend, in addition to course credit and critical work experience
Ignite Imaginations
Fund hundreds of hours of free programming that sparks exploration and creativity
Embolden Culture

Every Dollar Helps
