The 1% August 2010 Update

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

In 2007, The 1% program introduced the matching service and began welcoming nonprofit participants for the first time. Since then, the number of firms is growing more than 30 percent each year. Firms are matching in The 1% with an ever-growing number of nonprofits to fullfill their design service needs. Here are some of the matching activity highlights:

    * Close to two-hundred completed pro bono projects have been uploaded to The 1% in the program's lifetime - a number that nearly doubled in the last year.

    * 165 nonprofit projects posted to The 1% are currently matched and in-progress - a 30 percent increase from last year at this time.

    * More firms are using The 1% matching service. 22 percent of the 822 firms participating in The 1% have used the matching service to find pro bono projects, up 80 percent since last year.

In other news, Public Architecture recently teamed with Studio Hinrichs to create a public service poster for The 1%, which lists 100 specific ways that architects and designers can make a difference — from designing an outdoor classroom, to restoring a wetland, to installing a green roof on a school. The project was done in concert with Ideas That Matter sponsored by Sappi Fine Paper.

The 1% program welcomed 14 firms and 9 nonprofits last July.
