COGdesign is a small, largely volunteer-run non-profit in the Greater Boston area with more than 25 years of experience co-designing healthy, beautiful, green spaces with communities. COG brings together landscape designers, project managers, and funding to support several projects each year, providing pro bono professional landscape design services to co-create healthy, safe, accessible green spaces with and in underserved communities.
Mission: COGdesign expands equitable access to green and open spaces through community-focused participatory landscape design.
Vision: We envision a future where green and open spaces reflect place, history, and culture and promote the health and well being of all people.
Growth plans: To meet increasing demand for these services, COG recently updated its strategic plan. Key drivers include increasing board and staff capacity and expanding development and financial expertise and capacity.
We are looking for individuals to join our board who are deeply committed to our mission. In particular, we welcome people from the communities we work with and people with professional experience in nonprofit fundraising development. As a small organization, our board is both strategic and hands-on.
