2026 Mini Capital Campaign for Firms

This new space is a shared investment in Philadelphia’s design community. With your support, it will become a place for connection, learning, and collaboration for years to come. We are seeking leadership support from local architecture and design firms to help outfit our new space at the Village of Industry & Art. All support starting at $2500 will be acknowledged on a permanent donor wall within the space.

2026 Mini Capital Campaign for Individuals

Your home at 1218 Arch Street has always been more than a building. It’s where friendships formed and conversations carried on long after events ended. Now, that same spirit is moving to the heart of the city. 

At 320 South Broad Street, within the Village of Industry & Art, your next gathering place is taking shape. This new space builds on what we’ve already created together. The move honors the past while making room for what’s next. Every contribution goes directly toward the tenant fit-out and moving costs, turning an empty space into a welcoming home. Your generosity is more than a donation. It’s an investment in the future of this space and the people who use it.
Let’s build what comes next together.

Every dollar raised goes directly into the programs we offer in and outside of the classroom.

DesignPhiladelphia General Operating Support

The hardest dollars to raise in a nonprofit organization are general operating support dollars -- but that support is critical to keeping the DesignPhiladelphia's programming thriving and growing, while also maintaining our great physical space at 1218 Arch Street.
