The American Foundation of Savoy Orders supports local, national, and international charities focusing on medical, educational, and humanitarian fields, including philanthropy for U.S. veterans, hospitals, and relief agencies for children, the poor, the sick, and the elderly. In 2019, the Savoy Foundation launched a new charitable initiative – Chivalry for Children’s Causes™ – a multi-year program assisting institutions and charitable organizations that provide aid to children and families in need, building stable, healthy families, whether through enrichment spaces or basic meals for improved health and stable living conditions in poor economic environments. The program is made possible thanks to the generous support from the members and friends of the American Delegation of Savoy Orders.
