SUPPORT the FHD

The FHD relies on the support of interested individuals, institutions and corporations. This support is materialised in the form of financial donations, through shared projects or through activities done voluntarily. While there is no motivation to turn such support into a corporative entity, with their support these donors and volunteers make up a community that aspires to be representative of design and fashion historians.

Become a Friend of the FHD!

Friends are individuals who have an interest in supporting the FHD, identifying with it aims. In turn, Friends receive certain services that provide incentives for greater interest in design history amongst the communities they represent.

The Friends of the Design History Foundation are individuals who contribute disinterestedly with an annual donation of 35€, with the objective of achieving the following goals:

To research, spread news of and promote design history
To strive for the conservation of documentary heritage
To create an international community of researchers who are passionate about the history of industrial, graphic and textile and fashion design, encouraging encounters for the exchange of knowledge by means of various symposiums, conferences and encounters organised by the FHD.
To publish books and articles contributing to the spread and awareness of design history

The annual donation of 35€ provides a Friend with the possibility of a personal tax income exemption (in Spain).

INSTITUTIONAL FRIENDS

INSTITUTIONAL FRIENDS:
Academic Centres, Museums and Associations

The “FHD Friends” are legal entities with legal status who have an interest in supporting the FHD out of their sense of identification with its objectives. They also receive certain services which help enliven incentives for broader interest in design history amongst the sectorial groups they represent.

Academic centres

Design schools and universities where design and fashion history are offered will make an annual donation of 100€*, giving them access to:

FHD Job board: We assist in finding highly qualified specialised professors.
Newsletter: All professors receive a monthly newsletter from the Foundation, with information specifically addressed to all researchers: calls for papers for conferences and academic journals, information on international exhibitions and on publications.
Discounts in the activities of the FHD for professors
Receive the annual activities report

* For all private design education centres, the annual donation gives you the right to a business tax benefit (in Spain).

Institutional Donation

Museums and Associations

Museums related to design, material culture, textile and fashion, as well as associations of designers, work together with the FHD as partners. That is, they collaborate in more or less formal ways in the organisation of activities that satisfy the expectations of all parts involved.

For the last four years, the FHD has worked with the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, the Documentation Centre and Textile Museum in Terrassa, Can Marfà Knitwear Museum of Mataró, the Premià de Mar Textile Printing Museum and the Marès Lace Museum, Arenys de Mar, organising research colloquiums on textile and fashion. This project has been held three times.

The FHD organises its symposiums in the headquarters of the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, to which it has donated the historical archive of the designer Jordi Vilanova, to be conserved and catalogued.

All institutions interested in collaborating with the FHD should contact the FHD directly.

CORPORATE FRIENDS

Corporate Friends

A corporation’s annual report is an important aspect of its identity. Enterprises in the design sector, and especially historical ones, can request the Foundation’s services for all questions referring to the organisation of historical archives and the construction of narratives centred on commemorating its anniversaries and special occasions.

These corporations make an annual donation of 300€*, which gives them the right to the following:

Inclusion of their logo on the web and on publications of the FHD.
Annual reception of the activities report, paper version.
Initiation of consultations for a specific project

* Annual donations to foundations give the donor the right to a benefit, as applicable to the Business Tax (in Spain).

Corporate Donation

Would you like to be a volunteer at the FHD?

Volunteers

The years of the pandemic and these months in confinement have enabled us to understand that close physical proximity is not necessary to be able to share knowledge and experiences. At the Foundation, we require volunteers to help us broaden our online resources and organise collaborative projects using information and communication technologies. These projects are specified each year.

Conference Organisation

The FHD further requires volunteers for the organisation of conferences, which during the two or three days they are held make a demand on human resources we cannot normally meet. These volunteers carry out support tasks for these conferences. In exchange, they are able to attend all presentations for free and get to know the most eminent researchers in the history of design and fashion first-hand.
