This is an organization that has applied for and obtained tax-exempt status from the IRS under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Though our online directory, special project collaborations, exhibitions and connections with the media, we promote the excellence of our members, provide opportunities to showcase their work and make introductions to decision makers for commissioned projects.
In addition, our events — BADG Talks, BADG Power Dinners and BADG Design Week — create safe spaces for conversation, learning and pays tribute to our ancestral creative legacy. We build on our mission by fostering the next generation of artists, makers and designers, by working with leaders of institutions, design firms, publications and manufacturers to create an inclusive design culture.
