THE BENEFITS OF CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

The Female Design Council offers Corporate Memberships designed for companies to empower their female-identifying, non-binary, and trans-femme employees by joining a thriving network of design professionals. Companies working within the architecture and design industry, including interior design studios, architecture and construction firms, manufacturers, makers, retailers, and distributors, are eligible for Corporate Membership. We also welcome partnerships with galleries, communications firms, art & design fairs, as well as the real estate and development sectors.

SUPPORT GROWTH

At the heart of our Corporate Membership is the belief that fostering female-centered leadership benefits both individuals and the organizations they work for. The FDC serves as a valuable resource for firm leadership, offering insights into empowering design teams, mentorship guidance, and supporting career advancement pathways.


Your Corporate Membership also goes to support the FDC’s flagship charitable initiatives: a free mentoring program for aspiring designers and design students, and the FDC's annual donation of 25+ memberships to designers and artists of color.
