What does it mean to be a BIDN Ally?
A BIDN Ally is a member of the interior design community who is committed to recognizing, uplifting, and celebrating the Black talent within the world of design. These individuals and companies are willing to go the extra step to show support by making regular contributions to the Black Interior Designers Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Those contributions assist in closing the inequality gap by extending the benefits of your privilege to those who have historically lacked.
Your membership supports the organization’s operations and initiatives, which include, but are not limited to: developing diversity training programs and leading thought leadership discussions, holding annual member conferences, and creating dedicated BIDN industry programs that raise the profile of our Black design community.
Ultimately, your commitment will help create true equality in design.
