The IIDA New England Chapter Philanthropy Committee strives to inspire designers and industry members to give back to local organizations which we believe have honorable missions to serve our community. Our efforts go to support these organizations through coordination of volunteer activities, donation drives, and monetary gifts provided by successful events sponsored by our IIDA chapter. By advertising and encouraging participation, members of our professional community come together to serve a common cause. Our work is incredibly rewarding as we witness the impact our committee’s events make from year to year, not only by the essential support we help provide to local organizations, but also the relationships that have grown within our professional community from participation. We as a committee help bring joy and appreciation to local New Englanders which in turn brings happiness to all of the design community members who contribute. #IIDANECares
