THE ARCHITECTURE FOUNDATION 

The Architecture Foundation is a non-profit agency for contemporary architecture, urbanism and culture. Through our diverse programmes we facilitate international and interdisciplinary exchange and engagement amongst professionals, policy makers and a broad public, and shape the quality of the built environment. We are independent, agile and inclusive. We believe that architecture enriches lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
