Chicago. Launched in March of 2017, they formed a fantastic
partnership with CB2 (Crate and Barrel) who provided seed-
funding in exchange for philanthropic social media content.
U-Haul has generously provided 70,000 square feet of
warehouse space and trucking. HD in Chicago furnished 1 home
per week within their first year.
Seattle. Humble Design recently
received backing from Microsoft
employees and the Schultz
Family Foundation to open a
location in Seattle. Additionally,
King County generously donated
19,000 square feet of warehouse
space. U-Haul has donated all
the trucking services.
Humble Design has had huge
momentum since moving to
San Diego in August. They are
seeking a founding partner to
support their initial hires and
warehouse space. Once up and
running they are self-sufficient
within 18-24 months. There has been an offer of a massive quantity
of furniture, hundreds of willing volunteers, U-Haul trucks and small
warehouse space. Additionally, they have identified partnerships
with several shelters that are eagerly awaiting their service. All
Humble
Design
San Diego
needs
to start
helping
these
families in
crisis is a
financial
backer.
One of
the benfits of partnering with Humble Design is that it is a content
generating machine. For each Humble Design family, they film a
home-reveal video, which they brand for their sponsors. Recently
a Detroit home-reveal video went viral and reached over 50 million
viewers. Partners such as CB2 and U-Haul have used the videos to
promote their charitable endeavors. HD is no stranger to media and
press - these videos have caught the attention of CNN, ABC, Fast
Company, New York Times and more.
