IMPACT

Design is what we do, but giving back is part of who we are.

Since day one, Anchor has been about more than projects and launches. 

We’ve always believed design can create connection—and that includes investing in the communities that shaped us.

That’s why we’ve been proud to give our time, resources, and support to organizations we care about, including: 

  • Kacy Semma Memorial Scholarship at the College for Creative Studies 

  • Creative Mornings Detroit 

  • Detroit Month of Design 

  • DesignCore Detroit 

  • Healing Arts of the Little Flower 
     

For us, impact isn’t separate from the work we do for clients—it’s all connected. When you choose to work with Anchor, you’re also helping us support the next generation of designers, foster local creativity, and give back to the community we call home.

Our Initiative

Anchor Design Match

As part of this commitment, we created the Anchor Design Match Program—a way to give other entrepreneurs and small businesses an extra boost when they’re ready to invest in themselves. Each month, we match 5 businesses’ budgets with up to $2,500 in design services for selected businesses.

It’s our way of making design more accessible, supporting growth-minded brands, and paying forward the opportunities that helped shape us.

Design should always leave something bigger behind. 

The Kacy Semma Memorial Scholarship was created to honor Tessa’s sister and support the next generation of designers at the College for Creative Studies.
