#idsIMPACT is a community-engagement initiative of the Interior Design Society that was launched at 2015 IDS National Conference. Commitment to community is a core value of IDS. Beginning in 2016, IDS strongly encourages each member to report the number of hours per year provided in pro bono design services to benefit their community. The work can be of general benefit for the community such as a park or community center, or the work can be for a non-profit, religious, or other charitable cause.

IDS strongly encourages all members to report the number of charitable design hours completed for the calendar year. There is not a minimum hour requirement; this reporting system is being implemented to exhibit the direct IMPACT that IDS, as a whole, has on its collective communities.
