HOW IT WORKS

  • We use social media, design blogs, podcasts, and industry events to promote the program. But the most effective tool for building the coalition - and the ultimate goal - is to have a thousand individual spheres of influence around the country. Where designers who want to give back philanthropically invite their friends into a community of like-minded designers who also recognize the power of design in a child’s healing process. Together, members of this national coalition will then be part of an impactful, momentum-building crowd-sourcing forum with opportunities for collaboration, sharing of resources, recognition and best-practices support from vendors and other industry partners.

  • Our user-friendly online platform handles registration, payments, and community engagement. Members receive regular updates through newsletters, webinars, and social media.

  • We have a referral system for receiving and vetting applications for children in medical crisis. Transparent selection criteria and local design teams manage each project after receiving best practices training in Trauma-Informed Design from Savvy Giving.

  • By focusing on gathering a minimum of 500 designers, the goal is to generate $100,000 annually, which will fund room nationwide makeovers through monthly grant cycles. One designer will be selected for each specific project based on proximity to the child's home and best fit for the project. We will meticulously track expenses to ensure efficient use of funds and seek in-kind donations from partner brands to stretch our budget further.

  • We document each project with before-and-after photos, videos, and stories, providing regular reports to members showcasing the impact of their contributions. Feedback from recipients and designers helps us continuously improve the program.
