"How can architecture help solve a challenge your organization faces and help achieve your mission?" This design service grant is intended to provide design assistance to local 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that can benefit from the services of skilled architects and designers and that would not otherwise have the resources to retain such services.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
- We are currently looking for AIA members who want to help get involved with this program. There are different levels of engagement and any level of help is appreciated! Sign-up below:
- If you know a nonprofit that might be interested in applying for this design service grant, please help spread the word and send them the grant application, found here!
- Problem Solving - To help identify a challenge and propose a solution for local nonprofit organizations.
- Education - To raise public awareness about the value of good design in community revitalization and service efforts.
- Connection - To establish a dialogue and build connections between the nonprofit community and the local architectural profession in Columbus.
Project Execution - The team will develop a final design solution to a schematic design level of completion, including conceptual floor plans, elevations, and renderings (if applicable). Each team will then present and promote their design proposals to the AIA Columbus membership, nonprofit organizations and the public on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at the Annual Chapter Meeting.
