3D InCItes Mural Project To Seed New DEI Fund

For the last several years, we held the 3D InCites Mural Project, in conjunction with the 3D InCites Awards, in support of STEM Education. This year, we have initiated a new fund in support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Because DEI is critical to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we’ve created the 3D InCites DEI Fund: established to support women-owned and under-represented-minority-owned technology businesses. Your generous donation will help us seed the DEI fund, from which we will be able to provide support for these businesses that are vital for creating a sustainable future for our global community. Once we reach our seed goal of $100,000, we will begin accepting grant applications from companies.

While we aren’t holding a live event for the awards ceremony this year during which the mural would be created, we hired the same illustrator, Ronna Encarnacion, to create another original piece of artwork based on the theme: “Creating a Sustainable Community”. She will record her progress using time-lapse video, and we’ll be sharing the creation process daily on social media. We hope you will consider joining in to support a great cause. Once finished, each donor of $500 or more gets its company logo included in the artwork and receives a print of the final piece, suitable for display. Donations of less than $500 will have their name mentioned at the end of the time-lapse video.

We would like to thank the following companies for their generous donations!

We are still accepting donations and logos through Monday, March 22, 2021. Please send your black-and-white logo to Françoise von Trapp and make your donation via Paypal below if possible. Or we are happy to arrange other ways of payment.
