Ferdinand Center for Creative OUR GOAL We’re starting a design school for Filipinos who can’t afford college. We have property already, and an architect has designed us an incredible building that includes bunk rooms for students and volunteers who live too far away and wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend our school. But we need your help. OUR MISSION We aim to provide excellent graphic design and art education for young adults who can’t afford typical schooling. Working with other passionate professionals in our field, we’ll help Filipino artists living in poverty learn the tools of the trade, experience client work, build beautiful portfolios, and get good careers in the design industry. At Ferdinand Center for the Creative, students will come to classes three days a week, gaining practical, hands-on experience drawing what they see, drawing from their imagination, sketching, painting in different styles and mediums, working on logos from conception to final execution, and learn the tools and software used by graphic designers. They’ll get to work on actual ad campaigns and brand projects for other nonprofits around the world as well, adding valuable work to their portfolios. We’ll offer all the education, tools, and resources so that even the poorest can enrich their lives and earn a better living with good jobs in the graphic design field. Our goal is $50,000, in order to build a school on our property. Our deadline is March 14, Central Standard Time. If we don’t reach the goal by then, we get nothing.
