September brings 15 Firms, 14 Nonprofits into The 1%
Thursday, October 23, 2008
The 1% program continued its growth in the month of September, with 15 firms pledging their time to pro bono work, and 14 nonprofits registering to receive design assistance.
The range of firms that join The 1% continues to illustrate the diversity of design professionals committed to pro bono work. From the 34 employee Miami branch of Perkins + Will, to the four person Washington-based landscape architecture firm Varley, Varley & Varley, which both registered for The 1% this month, Public Architecture is pleased to welcome design practitioners of all kinds into The 1%.
Nonprofits continue to express appreciation for the resources that these professionals provide. “When we first came upon this program, we thought, ‘wow, we can’t believe this exists.’…There is a level of expertise we needed to tap into and we weren’t sure where to get it,” said Alexandra Gray, Development Director of Fractured Atlas, a New York-based national arts organization. Fractured Atlas, along with last month's other nonprofit initiates, believes that design professionals have a role to play in helping achieve their organization’s mission.

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.
