We rely on our sponsors to help fund our mission to collect and display the best of Chicago design.
The Board of Directors, Advisory Boards and Curatorial Board are dedicated to permanently preserve this work and make it accessible to a world-wide audience that includes design professionals looking for inspiration, scholars and students exploring a unique segment of design history, writers seeking historical references and enthusiasts who love and appreciate good design.
On the 11th anniversary of the founding of the Chicago Design Archive, October 20, 2015, the CDA became an independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization dedicated to educating the public about the importance of Chicago’s design history. Gifts to the CDA in support of its efforts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
