Our Giving

Small Haus. Big Impact.

We see a growing trend among our clients and other professionals to use their talents, products, and services to create a better world. We at IMAGEHAUS are on that same critical path. We are using the power of design to create connections for positive social, environmental, and business impact.

 

4C: The IMAGEHAUS Giving Program

Since 2000, IMAGEHAUS has been committed to building a better community through a giving program based on core values of compassion, creativity, candor, and courage. In partnership with worthy non-profit partners, we have donated more than $4 million in creative services that have helped raise over $35 million by putting the power of design to work.

Eligibility

IMAGEHAUS awards quarterly grants to reduce the creative services costs paid by organizations in our community that help people in need. These grants are based on our core values—compassion, creativity, candor, and courage—the 4Cs. They enable our vision of the future.

HOW 4C WORKS:

All Twin Cities-based 501(c)(3) organizations can apply, using this downloadable 4C grant application.

After consideration based on needs and our 4C criteria, a full market value estimate is created. Grants awarded cover a large percent of the cost of the project, but do not cover the entire amount.

It is this approach that has allowed us to successfully help more than 65 organizations in 20 years.

For deadline details or any other 4C questions, please contact us at 4C@imagehaus.net
