Black Women in Architecture

Black women are hugely underrepresented in architecture--just 0.3 percent (fewer than 500) are licensed architects in the U.S. The Architects Foundation is creating a scholarship specifically for Black Women earning their degree in Architecture in honor of Desiree V. Cooper, a DC-area architect who tragically passed in 2015. Help celebrate her memory by creating a pathway to equity in architecture. THIS X THAT is joining other female-led firms to match every dollar raised. Please consider joining us in fundraising for this cause, donations can be made here.
