The Community Design Collaborative is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that works to strengthen neighborhoods in Philadelphia and beyond by coordinating pro bono design for nonprofits through a dedicated network of volunteer design professionals. Community design is an important part of the revitalization process and a critical element of livable, sustainable neighborhoods. The Collaborative harnesses the energy, talents, and commitment of design professionals (architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects, estimators, and others), who work with nonprofit, civic, and community leaders to envision a better future for citizens. The organization provides early feasibility studies and design services to nonprofits on site-specific projects, and develops model projects that promote dialogue and problem solving around critical issues in the city and region. The Collaborative focuses on core issues affecting the quality of life in Philadelphia and surrounding counties such as housing, open space, commercial corridors, food access, and social services. By targeting direct services to community-serving nonprofits, the Collaborative brings the built environment into strategies for revitalizing and strengthening communities.
