Leverage 2017

Join us to celebrate another two years of transformative community design at Leverage 2017, our signature event where you’ll mingle with community leaders and design professionals, enjoy delicious food and drink, and experience a pop up exhibition of pro bono design at Pennovation, the exciting new space developed by the University of Pennsylvania to foster collaboration between researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

Proceeds from Leverage support the Collaborative's Design Grants for nonprofits. In 2015 and 2016, the Collaborative coordinated volunteer engagement with 53 community-based organizations, leveraging almost 14,000 hours of pro bono preliminary design assistance valued at nearly $1.9 million.
