We’re thrilled to share that Constructive has won three 2025 Communicator Awards, recognizing our work at the intersection of strategy, design, and social impact. We received an Award of Excellence for our work with the Dana Foundation, an Award of Excellence for our work with Digital Inquiry Group, and an Award of Distinction for our work with FrameWorks Institute. It’s an honor to be recognized—and a privilege to partner with organizations advancing meaningful change in the world.

Our Work with Dana Foundation

Since 1950, the Dana Foundation has been a pioneer in healthcare philanthropy, funding innovative research and new areas of inquiry. After two decades of dedicating its mission to neuroscience funding research, the Dana Foundation developed a new strategic plan in 2022.

Together, we positioned the brand at the forefront of a new field and created a digital platform that invites scientists, students, grantees, and the public to explore and advance brain science for a better future. Learn more about our work together and visit the Dana Foundation’s website.

Our Work with Digital Inquiry Group

Previously known as the Stanford History Education Group, Digital Inquity Group (DIG) equips educators and students with research-based history curricula and digital literacy tools—resources that have been downloaded over 14 million times and are used in all 50 states.

As DIG transitioned into an independent nonprofit, their team turned to Constructive to reimagine its brand and website. Our goal: create a platform that elevates their new identity while making it easier for teachers to access the content they trust. The result is a dynamic platform that extends access to their transformative resources and strengthens democracy through informed, engaged communities.

Our Work with FrameWorks Institute

FrameWorks Institute is a pioneer in narrative framing research for social impact, providing the scientific grounding for more ethical, complete, and representative communications on complex issues such as racial justice, health, economic justice, climate change, and more. Over the last two years, Constructive has collaborated closely with the FrameWorks team to redesign its branding to embody its extensive expertise. 

Its new website projects FrameWorks’ leadership, invites audiences to explore their respected research, and makes their ideas accessible and actionable for social impact professionals and organizations looking to shift public narratives.
