Donate to advance equity in design.

As a nonprofit organization, we thrive with sustaining gifts from the community. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today and help us reach our fundraising goal. Your generous year-end contribution will allow us to hire young designers through our design education programs, fund our 2024 Design Grants teams, and host even more public programming.

At the Sasaki Foundation, our work aims to amplify the voices of historically underrepresented communities, to sponsor community-based research and actionable projects in our Boston region, to create space for dialogues that highlight important topics that advance advocacy for social justice and resilience, and to provide design education opportunities to youth.

The Hideo Sasaki Foundation is a nonprofit established in 2000 to continue Hideo Sasaki's legacy of advancing rigorous and challenging research in design. Since our founding, we've provided scholarships to design students across the country, sponsored research symposiums, funded interdisciplinary initiatives at design schools, and underwritten research by design practitioners.

Since 2018, with a renewed mission and vision around equity in design, the Sasaki Foundation has accomplished even more:

• introduced 350+ students to careers in design through our design education programs
• awarded $271,000 to community-led projects through the Design Grants
• hosted 175+ events connecting communities and design professionals
