2022 Design Grants Pitch Night

Through research, programs, design education, and partnerships, the Sasaki Foundation takes an interdisciplinary approach to tackling global challenges in our local context of Greater Boston and beyond. The Sasaki Foundation supports inclusive approaches that bridge the physical environment, community and social needs, policies and governance, and economic forces to shape equitable communities.

The challenges in addressing environmental resilience, displacement, affordable housing, access to mobility choices, meaningful public engagement, and other social equity considerations in planning and design are so broad and complex, they require a shared approach to facilitate all the necessary conversations and deliver actionable solutions. Most of these challenges faced by Boston communities are not limited to local neighborhoods—their effects are felt and shared across the Commonwealth and beyond. Multiple futures are at stake, and we can make a difference by acting now. The Sasaki Foundation recognizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches, diverse community voices, and regional cooperation as key drivers to find shared solutions and create shared impact. Join us to hear Sasaki Foundation Design Grants finalists pitch their ideas for projects that address proactive approaches to climate adaptation, new models for housing, innovation in transit and access to mobility choices, creative community building, and innovation in health and wellbeing. Finalists will be determined in May 2022.  The Sasaki Foundation Design Grants is an annual grant program presented to teams of two to four people from Greater Boston communities who propose projects in the Sasaki Foundation&#x27;s focus areas that work to promote equity in design.This event is an opportunity to network with startups, designers and planners, community groups, artists, civic leaders, and entrepreneurs who are interested in exploring collaborative ways to strengthen and empower communities.VENUE NOTES: The Lamplighter CX taproom is 21+.
