Philanthropy by Design, Inc. (PBD) of Virginia is a volunteer organization that was founded in conjunction with Philanthropy by Design of California, whose mission is to establish a national network of design industry resources and recyclable products for the purpose of creating model interior environments for public service needs.  PBD of Virginia began in April of 1991 as a sub committee of the American Society of Interior Designers and has evolved into an independent service organization.

Ways You Can Become Involved:

 

GENERAL MEETINGS:

 

Our general membership meetings occur on the third Tuesday of every month.  See our Upcoming Events page for details on the location.

Brief informational meetings to discuss upcoming events followed by dinner in the restaurant. (cost of dinner is your responsibility)

These meetings provide a great introduction to Philanthropy as well as an opportunity for socializing with your peers.

 

BOARD POSITIONS:

 

The Board of Directors meets quarterly to discuss and plan events and projects. A board position provides a means of getting involved that does not entail lots of meetings.  Most tasks can be easily accomplished on your own time. We are always looking for future leaders, too.

 

HANDS ON PROJECTS: 

 

Volunteer to provide labor at a work session, write letters to locate donations, or head a project committee.

 

FUNDRAISING AND OTHER EVENTS:

 

Volunteer to plan events, develop new ideas, or design invitations. We already have many annual events in place that provide us with most of the funding we need.

 

PUBLIC RELATIONS:

 

Help us reach out to the community to inform them of what we do. Through newspaper articles, radio announcements, and our website we would like to reach many more people.

 

CURRENT OFFICERS: For more information please contact:
