Bassetti - HMC Designing Futures Foundation

Your gift powers design for all. As a volunteer-powered 501c(3) nonprofit, we rely on the generous giving of our supporters to bring free and affordable programs to 10,000+ people citywide every year.

The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.

Align your business with our region’s largest multidisciplinary design event attracting design professionals, business innovators, students, and enthusiasts. Boost your visibility, invest in your team, and show care for your community by sponsoring the Festival!

Together we will reveal the power of design—how it transforms ideas, spaces, and communities. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, everyone is invited to propose impactful programs or installations.

Thank you for joining us for SDF’25: FEEDBACK – 6 days of transformative programming designed to unleash the design thinker in everyone and build more equitable communities through design.

In 2025 Bassetti joined forces with HMC, a strategic partnership which brings together two firms united in purpose and sharing a deep commitment to designing resilient, healthy communities that make a lasting positive impact on people. In 2008, HMC Architects established its Designing Futures Foundation (DFF) to give back to the communities the firm serves. DFF has granted numerous scholarships, sponsored research, funded design competitions, and participated in other philanthropic initiatives.
