| Overview |
Since our inception in 1992, Design Response has been
delivering on our goal of improving environments for
nonprofit agencies and schools that serve the most needy
in our community. We have completed more than 200 projects
for agencies serving the poor, homeless, developmentally
disabled, and families and children in crisis throughout
Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. We've
helped make their facilities safe, functional, well
designed and, most of all, welcoming.

Operating on shoestring budgets and in cramped quarters,
nonprofit agencies in our community frequently struggle
to ensure continuity of client services. Rarely is spending
time or money on critical facility improvements a priority.
By leveraging the volunteer time and talent of the design
industry, and combining that with donations of high
quality furniture and materials and our own professional
project management, Design Response fills this need
and adds value at a fraction of market cost.
We
also know that an individual’s sense of self
is deeply affected by the space that surrounds them.
And when that individual is in crisis, the effect
can be even more profound – affecting their
dignity, their self-worth, and their ability to accept
help. Design Response believes that an agency’s
physical surroundings have a profound impact on its
ability to achieve its mission and impact the lives
of the people it serves.
Design Response is a 501(c)(3)
public benefit corporation. |
