We set out to make design accessible to all for the love of our city.
Through partnerships and community collaborations, we are constantly uncovering innovative approaches to foster the physical and social transformation of Richmond, guided by equitable design and the voices of its residents.
Storefront has convened over 370 low-cost design and planning assistance projects and over 20 design education initiatives with an estimated value of donated services well over $1,080,000.
Testimonials
“I can SEE how the space, textiles, and everything comes together. It really makes you excited about the project. Now we have a vision that can be our “blueprint” to work with contractors”
“Teaching with City Builders reminded me that not only should we include our children in the process of designing better things for our cities, but also to become better designers we need to awaken the child in ourselves.”
“I just don’t speak the language of construction and can now better advocate for myself with a developer as a small business owner leasing a large space”
Ways to Donate
