Design Justice Grant

Hmong American Partnership (HAP) is a social service and community development nonprofit that serves nearly 30,000 individuals annually. Originally founded in 1990 to serve Minnesota’s growing Hmong population, it is now the largest Hmong-serving organization in the nation.

As part of the Design Justice Program, they are seeking help with one of two potential projects:

1. Develop a national social media communications plan for their subsidiary, Hmong National Development. Specifically, they would like to publicize data and reports from their recent conference.
2. Work with HAP’s development team to design a culturally sensitive fundraising strategy that increases support through individual giving, donations and grants.

Clare Housing provides a continuum of
affordable and supportive housing options that create healing communities and optimize the health of people living with HIV/ AIDS.

As part of the Design Justice Program, they are seeking help with one of two potential projects:

1. Develop communications strategy for the Journey Home Circle (JHC), a donor society for those giving $1,000+ annually. The project might include researching donor motivations, defining the meaningful benefits of JHC, or creating marketing materials (e.g., a brochure or one pager) to inspire membership.
2. Produce 4-5 short videos featuring people with the lived experience of HIV and housing instability. The goal of this project is to develop multimodal storytelling tools to highlight the impact of Clare Housing’s work.
