What to Give?

Why not give the gift of good design? You can visit our store, buy a friend a copy of Design Like You Give a Damn, make a donation on behalf of a client--and support good design all at the same time. The first twelve people to donate $250 or more, will receive a custom designed Hope for Humanity T-shirt. (see below) This winter some companies are helping including Buro Happold, Contract Associates, Inc in New Mexico, Herman Miller, MortarNet,Sun Microsystems are all running internal giving programs and matching any of their employees contributions to us. If you or a friend works for one of them or a company that also matches employee contributions  double your giving and help us expand our reach.

Hope For Humanity T's Our favorite fashion designer has done it again. Alabama Chanin has designed and produced a series of limited edition 'Hope for Humanity' upcycled T-Shirts just for Architecture for Humanity, benefitting our projects around the world. There are a dozen men's and womens T's available (from S to XL) and one will be sent to anyone donating more than $250 before the end of the year - either from online donations, mailed checks or via facebook. As noted we have limited quantities and sizes.

Buy a 2x4 for New Orleans The good folks at Project Agape, who developed and run the Causes app on Facebook, selected us out of 22,000 facebook NGOs to be part of their holiday gift giving appeal. Right now for $10 you can buy someone a 2x4 help build The Guardians  Institute, a community center and cultural museum for the Mardi Gras Indians in the heart of New Orleans designed by Rockwell Group. Additionally the Case Foundation is giving $1000 a day and a grand prize of $50,000 as part of a facebook giving challenge. We are in the running (currently 5th in the tables) and if you are a facebook member and want to donate there then fire away and drive us to the top of the charts.
