Announcing the winners of our Round One Grants for 2023

The Foundation was overwhelmed by the quality of applications we received in our first grants round of the year, making it one of our most competitive to date. We are pleased to be able to share the news that we are awarding a total of $65,000 of funds in support of projects at the cutting edge of design research.

This round also saw the introduction of our independent Grants Assessment Panel, who diligently undertook the selection process and nominated the incredible winning proposals.
