One Last Thank You from Architecture for Humanity

The Board Chair of Architecture for Humanity,Matt Charney has sent the final letter to the public last week that declares its bankruptcy with their saddened closure.In Charney's letter;

''You are receiving this final message because you are one of the countless volunteers, supporters, design fellows, and former staff of Architecture for Humanity.  I thank you for all that you gave to this organization over the past fifteen years.

This week, Architecture for Humanity will file for bankruptcy.  While we are saddened by the organization’s closure, the mission of Architecture for Humanity is far from ending. Our affiliated international network of designers and allied professionals have resolved to carry on their work at the local level. Over 30 volunteer chapters on five continents, now self-governed, have recommitted to the mission and are emphatically and collectively forging a new path forward. We are overwhelmed by this response, and could not be more proud of those who volunteer their time and expertise to bring design services to where they are most needed within their local communities. We encourage you to keep in touch with the Chapter Network by subscribing to the their news feed here.

For the past fifteen years, the mission of Architecture for Humanity was so resonant because its values already deeply resided within its community. Nothing about the closure of an organization changes that. Please continue to carry out the mission of Architecture for Humanity through your own work and practice.''

Best Regards, 

Matt Charney, Board Chair Architecture for Humanity
