The 1% program challenges architecture and design firms nationwide to pledge a minimum of 1% of their time to pro bono service. Based on a 40-hour workweek, 1% represents a modest 20 hours per year per person. Were all 240,000 architecture professionals in the U.S. to sign on, the collective resources would be the equivalent of a 2,500-person firm (the largest in the world) working full-time for the public good, totaling an estimated 5,000,000 hours annually.
