FASHION . BUSINESS . EMPOWERMENT

"WHERE FASHION MEETS VISION"
“Empowering the Next Generation Through Vision, Resilience, and Opportunity.”
The Designing Hope Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through education, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Founded by award-winning designer and philanthropist Linda Rowe Thomas, the Foundation creates access to opportunity for underserved individuals through hands-on training, mentorship, and community development programs.
From entrepreneurship accelerators and digital literacy workshops to inclusive innovation initiatives, the Foundation bridges creativity and technology to help people build sustainable futures. Guided by a belief that every dream deserves a foundation, Designing Hope transforms potential into purpose — designing brighter, more equitable communities for all.
Exciting Changes Are Underway!
We’re reimagining the Designing Hope Foundation to deepen our impact and expand the opportunities we bring to the community. Our new website is coming soon — with refreshed programs, expanded initiatives, and a renewed commitment to hope, empowerment, and purpose.
Stay tuned for the official relaunch of the Designing Hope Foundation. A brighter, bolder chapter of hope and empowerment is on the way.
