SUPPORT US

Design-Nation is a not-for-profit organisation, we don’t currently receive any core funding and in this challenging climate we rely on the support of people like you to continue delivering our inspiring work.

We have helped hundreds and thousands of small creative businesses, emerging makers and students through our unique industry support, membership pathways and partnerships.

If you believe in our mission, please consider making a one-time or regular donation to us. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a real difference to the 350+ UK design and craft professionals and emerging makers in our network.

There are also some very special benefits to enjoy as a Design-Nation Patron or Champion.

Support our work and help us continue to nurture talent, celebrate craftsmanship and promote the excellence of British design & craft.
