We spend hours on platforms that shape how we connect with others, but most of these platforms are built to keep us clicking and scrolling, not to help us build meaningful relationships. Your financial support can help change that.

The Prosocial Design Network works with experts to make better digital spaces. Our goal is simple: we want technology to bring people together, encourage real conversations, and build stronger communities both small — think your neighborhood — and large — think your country.

How your donation powers better tech

• $25 funds an indie developer building the kind of thoughtful social platform you wish existed. We continue to provide them with design patterns, through our Design Library, to encourage real connection over viral outrage.
• $250 brings together the brilliant minds you follow on Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, and elsewhere — designers, developers, and researchers — through our monthly Pro-Social events series.
• $4,000 funds research into the questions you care about, through our semester-long Library Fellowship program.

We're a scrappy organization, who's already partnered with leading tech companies, research institutions, and grassroots developers, to implement prosocial design patterns.

But there's so much more to do.

When you donate to the Prosocial Design Network, you're not just supporting an organization – you're helping us make the Internet a better place for human beings like you and me. We cannot continue our research and advocacy without donors like you.
