The Where Do You Give? National Design Competition is searching for talented designers who can translate tzedakah‘s meaning into compelling, relevant design.

The Where Do You Give? National Design Competition will challenge designers, artists and conceptual thinkers to create a 21st century icon inspired by the values and imagery of the traditional tzedakah box that reflects our increasingly interconnected, global and technologically accelerated world. Compelling entries will spark conversations about the values behind our giving, inspire us to expand our universe of obligation around where we give, and bring new relevance and urgency to giving.
