Charitable Giving and the Livery Companies

One of the cardinal duties of all Livery Companies is to support charitable activities. In the last year for which figures were available the 108 Companies of the City of London gave a total in excess of 41 million to a wide selection of charities. This was generally split between welfare, education, church, the environment, support of craft or trade or general good causes. This generosity makes the Livery movement as a whole one of the Countrys most significant charity donors. The Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects takes this commitment very seriously, and seeks donations in the first place from its members. However today's needs are greater, and so we are seeking to raise additional funds from friends and supporters for the causes recognised through the architectural profession.

What the Companys Charitable Trust does

Over the years the Charitable Trust has been able to support a wide range of charitable work including the following: Prizes to secondary school students interested in a career in architecture. Grants to students in time of financial hardship through the Royal Institute of British Architects Student Hardship fund. Travel awards to students of architecture to assist with course work. Team Build competition which encourages interdisciplinary working between teams of young construction sector professionals. The Architects Benevolent Society. Annual donations to the Lord Mayors Charity which in turn assist a wide range of good causes. The Sheriffs and Recorders Fund.
