Public Architecture Welcomes 11 Firms and 7 Nonprofits into The 1% in December
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
The last month of 2008 closed bringing 11 additional firms and 7 new nonprofits into The 1% program. Many of this month’s firm registrants came to the program with an existing pro bono ethic, such as the Mill Valley, CA-based Dorman Associates which “believes that everyone is deserving of the benefits of good design.” Dorman Associates pledged this month “to contribute our efforts to meet this goal.” Firms who registered in December highlighted time donated to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, local development corporations, and schools and summer programs. The Public Architecture staff encourages all to visit The 1% project gallery to view diverse examples of pro bono design engagement by firms, both completed projects and those in progress.

The 1% Program of Public Architecture
www.theonepercent.org
“The 1%” is a national program launched by Public Architecture in 2005 that challenges architecture and design firms to pledge 1% of their billable hours to pro bono work. Over 300 firms have signed on to date. If every architecture professional in the U.S. dedicated just 20 hours annually, it would add up to 5,000,000 hours each year—the equivalent of 2,500-person firm working fulltime for the public good. The 1% program was launched by Public Architecture in 2005 with the support of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and is presently supported by a range of groups, including the NEA, American Institute of Architects (AIA), Boston Society of Architects (BSA), corporate and private foundations, as well as leading firms such as Elness Swenson Graham Architects (ESG), Hammel, Green & Abrahamson (HGA), Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), HKS, McCall Design Group, and Perkins + Will.
