Our Annual Reports are one of the best ways to get a sense of the organization as a whole. Each report provides a detailed overview of our activities, projects and events for that year, along with our operating budget and a list of all our donors. 

As required by law, each year the Design Trust's finances are audited by an independent accountant. For anyone curious about the financial health of the organization or how we put your donations to work, this is where to look. 

The Design Trust follows the calendar year, so our annual audit takes place in the spring and the statement is usually released in the summer. 

The Restorative City: Designing New York City with Health at the Center was a one-day convening bringing together urban planners, city officials, public health experts, and advocates to plan a healthy NYC.This special event hosted by the Design Trust at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice elevated important conversations about community health, environmental justice, social resilience, and design excellence as core drivers of how New Yorkers, especially those most vulnerable, can thrive. The Restorative City is starting an open, inclusive call to action for New York City's next chapter.
