Due to a sudden loss of critical funding, our organization currently faces a complete budget shortfall for the 2026–2027 year. We are currently mid-way through supporting a talented cohort of eight designers who are several months into their year-long residency, and our top priority is ensuring they continue to receive the mentorship, resources, and programming they were promised.
To address this challenge head-on, we have launched an immediate fundraising campaign to raise the critical funds needed to sustain our operations and protect the mission of our non-profit. Under the leadership of our new Executive Director, our team remains fully committed to pushing forward and guiding PFI through this next chapter.
We would be deeply grateful for any support you can provide by sharing our fundraiser on your social media channels, forwarding it to your network, or helping us amplify our story. Your help in spreading the word will be instrumental in ensuring this vital community organization can continue its work supporting emerging design talent.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication to our creative community.Â
