🌱 We’re proud to champion the official launch of FurnitureMatch© — a sustainability-driven platform designed to connect surplus commercial furniture with NYC’s nonprofit and community organizations.

Each year, millions of pounds of furniture end up in landfills. FurnitureMatch© tackles this challenge head-on by giving high-quality furnishings a second life where they’re needed most — reducing waste and reinvesting in local communities.

Supported by IIDA NY’s Catalyst program, this initiative brings together designers, city agencies, and nonprofits to build a more circular and equitable future for our industry and our neighborhoods.

Project Specialist II at Corgan Inc. | Knowledge Forum Co-Chair, IIDA NY

Meet Joe — an avid hiker, passionate mentor, and proud co-chair of IIDA NY’s Knowledge Forum. Joe’s journey from student member to leadership is a testament to the power of connection, curiosity, and community within IIDA.

💬 “Joining IIDA has shown me that it’s okay to take a deep breath. This community continues to service the greatest and undiscovered parts of yourself in ways you could never have imagined.”

With recent executive orders, the impact is being felt across all sectors and threatening inclusive workplace culture. Organizations are grappling with the potential loss of funding, clients, and gains realized with years of work that was creating more belonging for everyone in the workplace. Individually, staff and co-workers are experiencing threats to their personal and family safety as federal directives are dismantling decades of work that has been done to remove barriers for groups that have been historically oppressed. Join us in a safe and supportive space to share your experience and hear from others how they are navigating these challenges. We’ll also learn about the ways that organizations are changing practices and policies to continue creating inclusive workplace cultures that respect and value all of our different life experiences.
