Sponsors

Investing to make community-informed design possible. 

Sponsors provide the essential financial support that sustains the CIDIE Lab’s research, certification development, and daily operations. Sponsorship enables the CIDIE Lab to deliver evidence-based tools, resources, and education that empower practitioners to design with and for communities.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsorship levels provide organizations a range of pathways for supporting CIDIE’s mission and future development. In appreciation, CIDIE offers tiered benefits that recognize Sponsors publicly, deepen engagement with our team, and amplify shared values around community-informed design.

Through 2026, participating organizations will be designated as a Founding Sponsor, a one-time opportunity to be recognized as an early CIDIE champion. Founding Sponsors 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.
