This fundraiser supports my journey to earning an MFA in Design Thinking from Radford University, covering tuition, materials, and other essential costs for the program.
Design Thinking is a problem-solving methodology that combines creativity, empathy, and innovation to develop solutions that meet the needs of people and communities.
Radford University offers a comprehensive MFA in Design Thinking program, focusing on practical applications of design to solve real-world problems. Its strong curriculum aligns with my goals of blending creativity and service.
The total cost of the program is $40,000, and as a US Navy veteran with a disability, balancing personal finances and education is challenging. Donations will help bridge the financial gap and allow me to focus fully on my studies.
Your contributions will cover tuition, design materials, travel expenses for any required workshops, and technology needed to complete the program.
I aim to raise $40,000 to cover the entire program, with an initial milestone of $10,000 by January 21, 2025, the program’s start date.
Currently, donations are not tax-deductible. However, your support goes directly to funding my education and future design projects that will positively impact communities.
If I don't reach my goal, I’ll explore additional funding options like grants, scholarships, or loans. Contributions will still be used for my educational expenses.
I will provide regular updates through email and social media, sharing milestones, progress in the program, and how your support is making an impact.
With an MFA in Design Thinking, I aim to create projects that address real-world challenges, mentor veterans and creatives, and advocate for community-focused solutions.
My time in the Navy taught me resilience, adaptability, and service-oriented thinking. These traits deeply influence my approach to problem-solving and design.
Absolutely! Businesses can contribute through sponsorships, and I will acknowledge them in my project showcase and on social media as valued supporters.
You can donate through this secure platform, which accepts multiple payment methods. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.
Yes! Sharing my campaign with your network or connecting me to others who might be interested in supporting is incredibly valuable.
Donors will receive updates and acknowledgments, with additional recognition for those contributing $100 or more. I’m also exploring exclusive rewards for larger contributions.
The program equips me with tools to design solutions for community challenges, such as improving access to services or creating inclusive spaces for underrepresented groups.
This MFA represents a culmination of my passions for creativity and service. It’s a chance to turn my skills into meaningful contributions that positively impact others.
You can reach me at designthinking@williambraddock.com or connect with me on social media.
I’ll share regular updates showcasing how your contributions are being used, my progress in the program, and completed projects inspired by your support.
There’s no minimum, and every dollar counts! For larger contributions, I’m happy to discuss personalized sponsorship opportunities.
This campaign supports not just my education but also a broader mission to create impactful designs that blend creativity, empathy, and a veteran’s perspective.
The program begins January 21, 2025, and reaching my first milestone of $10,000 by this date ensures I can start without delays.
While early contributions are crucial for reaching the first milestone, donations will remain open throughout the program to help achieve the full $40,000 goal.
I’m happy to provide documentation of my acceptance to Radford University and outline how funds will be allocated transparently.
Yes! I’m open to connecting in person or virtually to discuss my journey, goals, and how your support makes a difference. Feel free to email me to schedule a time.
