The power of design belongs to all of us. This is the mantra of the Hideo Sasaki Foundation and a sentence I say over and over again at presentations, with funders, and to our grantees and youth interns. We believe this strongly and are honored to walk this walk every day. Thank you for joining us on our mission towards building a more equitable design industry. Together we have accomplished so much, but we still have lots of work to do!
We recently connected with Taylor Cain and Kim Lucas from 2023 Sasaki Foundation Design Grants project EarlyEducatorSpace 2.0. The project is a unique opportunity to bring together family childcare providers, families, neighbors, and affordable housing property managers in a way that expands access to childcare, creates opportunities for economic mobility for public housing residents, and enhances affordable housing spaces.
We recently connected with Vanny Huot from the 2023 Sasaki Foundation Design Grants project Movement Training and Cultural Center. The project will focus on designing a recently acquired building in Revere to serve the Ayni Institute and Neighbors United for a Better East Boston (NUBE) as a regional movement hub.
Today, the Sasaki Foundation announces our 2024 Design Grants call for proposals. The Design Grants are an annual program that funds community experts to create design solutions for challenges in their neighborhoods in Greater Boston and the Gateway Cities. Since 2018, the Sasaki Foundation has received 91 applications, and has awarded 22 teams a total of $271,000 through the program.
Check out our newly released 2022-2023 Design Grants Research Report to learn more about our fourth cohort’s work, offering innovative solutions to address food resilience, access to childcare, environmental justice, community infrastructure, and gentrification, with an ongoing impact in Greater Boston and beyond.
The Cambridge Public Health Department’s annual Health Promotion Mini-Grant Program, in partnership with the Sasaki Foundation, awarded $25,000 to projects that promote healthy eating, physical activity, or youth mental health in Cambridge, MA.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class="body-text" _builder_version="4.27.0" global_colors_info="{}"]The Hideo Sasaki Foundation Board of Trustees would like to share an update with our community as the Hideo Sasaki Foundation looks towards its next chapter.
After four years of leadership, Jennifer Lawrence has departed from her role as Executive Director. During a period marked by the challenges and disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jen played an important role in advancing the foundation’s strategic pillars of research, public programming, and design education. Her leadership helped expand educational and employment opportunities for youth and young adults, strengthened partnerships with municipalities and community organizations, and elevated key public programs such as the Celebration of Design and initiatives inspired by the legacy of Hideo Sasaki. She also supported the development of a talented team that will continue to drive the foundation's mission forward.
Jen’s contributions have shaped the foundation’s trajectory, reinforced program collaborations, and positioned the organization for its next phase of transformation. We thank her for her service and wish her the very best in her future endeavors.
At this time, the Board of Trustees is launching a search for the Hideo Sasaki Foundation's next Executive Director. This transition presents an exciting opportunity to continue strengthening the foundation’s programs, partnerships, and impact while advancing our mission to support design education, research, and public engagement.
The Board of Trustees will lead the search process, with support from staff to provide perspective and input at key points. The board anticipates the search will take place over the coming months. The position will remain open through April, and semi-finalist and finalist interviews will take place in late April and May, with the goal of welcoming a new Executive Director by June 2026. Timing may evolve as the process continues.
We encourage you to share this opportunity with leaders who reflect the breadth and diversity of the field.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we embark on this exciting next chapter together.

Serving as Executive Director of the Hideo Sasaki Foundation for the past four years has been a profound honor. What makes this organization truly special is not any single program or initiative, but the extraordinary community that surrounds it. Staff, grantees, partners, educators, students, and designers all believe deeply in the power of design to shape more just, resilient, and inclusive places.
I had the privilege of working alongside an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful staff whose care, creativity, and commitment bring the foundation’s mission to life every day. Together, we supported Design Grants that challenged assumptions and expanded possibility, public programs that fostered dialogue and connection, and design education efforts that invested in the next generation of thinkers and practitioners. These efforts reflect a shared belief that design is not just about form, but about people.
I learned endlessly from the grantees, partners, and students I worked with, through their curiosity, rigor, generosity, and willingness to imagine new futures. Their work affirmed, again and again, that the foundation’s greatest strength lies in its community and the relationships that sustain it.
It has been a privilege to serve this ecosystem and to contribute, in some small way, to the ongoing legacy of Hideo Sasaki’s vision.

These efforts reflect a shared belief that design is not just about form, but about people.
I learned endlessly from the grantees, partners, and students I worked with, through their curiosity, rigor, generosity, and willingness to imagine new futures. Their work affirmed, again and again, that the foundation’s greatest strength lies in its community and the relationships that sustain it.
It has been a privilege to serve this ecosystem and to contribute, in some small way, to the ongoing legacy of Hideo Sasaki’s vision.

[post_title] => Hideo Sasaki Foundation Launches Search for Next Executive Director
[post_excerpt] => The Hideo Sasaki Foundation Board of Trustees would like to share an update with our community as the Hideo Sasaki Foundation looks towards its next chapter. After four years of leadership, Jennifer Lawrence has departed from her role as Executive Director. During a period marked by the challenges and disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jen played an important role in advancing the foundation’s strategic pillars of research, public programming, and design education. Her leadership helped expand educational and employment opportunities for youth and young adults, strengthened partnerships with municipalities and community organizations, and elevated key public programs such as the Celebration of Design and initiatives inspired by the legacy of Hideo Sasaki. She also supported the development of a talented team that will continue to drive the foundation's mission forward.
