The UX Workshop Foundation
The UX Workshop (TUXW) understands that just because there is a will to do great UX video work, there is not necessarily a way. To address this, TUXW has partnered with a collection of public and private partners who are interested in helping organizations and individuals produce great UX work, regardless of their financial circumstances.
If your or your organization are doing work that helps the greater good and moves the practice of UX forward for everyone, please contact us. Applications for assistance will be reviewed on an individual basis and assistance will be granted depending on a variety of factors, including merit, financial feasibility and the types of projects already being financially supported by TUXW.
