The Design Professionals of Canada Foundation is a growing fund to support design research and education, special projects, scholarships for students, and professional designers.
The Foundation also has a benevolent fund offering short-term financial assistance to designers experiencing a career-challenging difficulty.
The Foundation was created in 2012 and has since given a significant number of student awards typically in the form of scholarships. The scholarships come from both individual donations and public donations.
Making your donation is easy and your generosity goes towards scholarships, grants, and the benevolent fund. Donors also have the ability to choose which scholarship fund they wish to support. Each year, our generous contributors are recognized on the DesCan website and published in the Foundation Annual Report.
