San Diego Design Week hosts over 100 activations across the San Diego region every September, and almost all of them are free.

That's a deliberate choice to keep design accessible to students, career professionals, and the design-curious.

But free isn’t cheap. Venues, production, food and beverages, workshop materials, insurance, wayfinding, and promotion are needed, and Design Forward Alliance is a completely volunteer driven 501(c)(3) non-profit.

If you think San Diego Design Week should exist, if you think the design community itself should exist, then the only way to make that happen is if you support it.

Thank you so much for your kind donation!
