CAF relies on donor support to fuel Architecture by the Book, capX internships, scholarships, and more. Your gift sustains and grows these programs—building bridges between students and the profession.

There are several ways to support CAF:

• Individual Donations: Your contribution helps fund essential programs and initiatives.

• Annual Sponsorship: Become a partner in fostering architectural education and the next generation.

• Founder’s Circle: Join a select group of supporters who are dedicated to long-term impact.

• Legacy Giving: Leave a lasting legacy by including CAF in your estate planning.

Choose a specific program to support or give an unrestricted gift to fuel all our initiatives. Monthly giving ensures sustained impact year-round.

When you make a gift to CAF, 9% of your donation helps cover essential operational costs that make our programs possible. These funds support critical functions like financial oversight, technology infrastructure and staff management that maximize your donation’s impact, while ensuring we can sustainably deliver on our mission for years to come.
