Giving by Design
Our Giving by Design program provides a way for our teammates to contribute to the communities we serve beyond our design work. We believe that the personal engagement of our teammates in making a difference heightens the quality and commitment of the firm’s overall work.
MOA makes an annual commitment to allocate time, resources, and a percentage of our business profits to drive our Giving by Design program. The program includes outreach, volunteering, pro-bono design services, and charitable donations.
If your organization has a need for volunteers, pro-bono design services, or charitable donations, we would love to hear from you. Please submit information about your organization and your need through our Contact page, selecting the “Giving by Design” as your reason for inquiry, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we are able.
Giving by Design Projects
Socially relevant architecture has infused the firm’s work from the beginning, so it is appropriate that a key part of our Giving by Design program is providing pro bono design services to deserving organizations and their important projects.
Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation
Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity dedicated to providing opportunities for persons with and without disabilities to gain confidence and independence through participation in national and international amateur ice hockey events, and to support local, national, and international amateur ice hockey players and their families in times of crisis. MOA’s work for the organization has included a planning study and concept design for a three-sheet ice complex in Douglas County, which will accommodate both sled hockey and ice hockey. This rink facility will connect the surrounding communities with youth and adult programs, anchoring several nearby high school programs. The facility will also serve as the home of Colorado Sled Hockey Clubs with the capability of hosting both national and international sled hockey events.
