Who
We Are And What We Do:
Philanthropy By Design of Virginia,
Inc., (PBD/VA) a Virginia non-profit corporation, is a volunteer organization of construction industry professionals and students
which provide labor, materials, and design assistance to accomplish the renovation and construction of non-profit community
service facilities. The organization was founded in conjunction with PBD of California, whose mission is
the establishment of a national network of design industry resources and recyclable products for the purpose of creating model
interior environments for public service needs. Having begun as a sub-committee of the Central Virginia
Chapter, American Society of Interior Designers, in 1991, PBD has evolved into a wholly independent, tax-exempt, chartered
organization, involving individuals from all aspects of the design and construction industries.
Below are scenes from one of our recent worksessions; CanStruction 2008, a

Our Human CANon Ball sculpture was comprised of over 1600 cans of diced tomato, tomato sauce, chili, peaches,
coffee and peas. All total, this year's competition featured 10 teams which contributed over 30,000 lbs of food
and $5000.00 in donations - enough for the foodbank to make nearly 45,000 meals.
