DESIGN IGNITES CHANGE APPLICATIONS

design ignites change offers two grants – the implementation award for $15,000, which we have talked about several times, and the idea award for $1000.

the implementation award is given to the concept or concepts that have the demonstrated ability to ignite change within their local community based on the following broad parameters:
» addresses a pressing social need within a community
» can be implemented within that community
» delivers positive results that can be measured

this award goes primarily toward funding the project, but there is allocation for some personal compensation for your design work, which means you can get a bit of payment for your efforts.
download the implementation application here. also be sure to download and review the 2009 winning applications.

the idea awards are given to innovative project ideas that have the ability to ignite positive social change, but it is not required that a plan for actual implementation be in place. projects will be judged on the following parameters:
» addresses a pressing social need within a community
» applies innovation and design thinking to solving the problem
» proposes a project that is feasible, one that could be implemented with the proper funding and resources in place

the scale of the project idea is not an issue, design ignites change is looking for ideas at any size that push the boundaries of what design thinking can do when applied to social issues.

you will be required to apply for one of these two awards. you should carefully consider the nature of your project and which award is most appropriate to apply for.
