Since 2000, Designs for Dignity has engaged the creative talents of the design community, and has utilized resources, materials and finishes donated by manufacturers, vendors, clients and showrooms to create healing spaces for many non-profits throughout Chicago and the U.S. This non-profit organization also provides design services and donated materials to residential program sites and helps divert the excesses of the design industry from landfills to charity projects.
