About Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners Charitable Foundation Limited

The Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners Charitable Foundation, established in 1990 as The Thames Wharf Charity, is a grant-making foundation linked to the RSHP architectural practice. Funded by donations from RSHP staff and directors, it reflects the practice's values of inclusion, accessibility, and social impact.

The Foundation typically funds projects, core costs, or unrestricted grants that deliver tangible community benefits. Distinctively employee-driven and trust-based, it prioritises flexible, responsive support for grassroots efforts.
