Impact Partners
Visionary collaborators shaping CIDIE from the ground up.
Impact Partners are leading organizations that join the CIDIE Lab in strategic, hands-on collaboration. Through bespoke partnerships, Impact Partners contribute expertise, resources, and in-kind support to co-create tools, frameworks, and initiatives that define the future of community-informed design.
Through 2026, participating organizations will be designated as a Founding Impact Partner, a one-time opportunity to be recognized as an early CIDIE champion. Founding Impact partners will hold a permanent place in the CIDIE Lab’s history as pioneering contributors who helped launch and shape the architecture industry’s first community-informed design certification program.
