October 14, 2010; Source: Core77 | DesigNYC just advertised its second call for applications so we thought we would introduce you to what we think is a pretty great idea. The program matches nonprofits with master designers on a pro-bono basis. The project may be landscape design or architectural design or campaign materials design but it seems to us this idea is well worth replicating. Video below:
