ACTIVATE Submission Deadline
ACTIVATE Submission Deadline
February 18
What is ACTIVATE?
The goal of ACTIVATE is to help architects guide, listen, observe, advocate, connect, and envision with the public and their communities. Through these six exercises, the end goal is to inspire people to take action and shape the future of their communities around them.
Each year, up to $40,000 is granted to support programs that encourage this engagement. Anyone can apply for a grant, but the submissions will be reviewed by the leadership of one of our seven local AIA Sections.
This year AIANC will be granting $50,000 to programs across the state!
Submissions are digital, but reference the TEMPLATE and CHECKLIST here!
ACTIVATE 2025 TIMELINE:

Shout out to Ricci Builders for an amazing project tour of one of their homes currently under construction. This project utilizes dozens of unique and sustainable building techniques that are second nature to Josh Ricci & his team and will be featured later this fall in the Winston-Salem Parade of Homes. ![]()
