What Archewell does

Archewell Philanthropies is a private charitable organization founded in 2020 by Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and rebranded from the Archewell Foundation in December 2025 to mark its fifth anniversary. The organization functions as the primary philanthropic vehicle for the couple and their children, delivering programs in mental health, humanitarian relief, gender equity, community support, and disaster response. It operates subsidiaries including the Parents' Network (child online-safety advocacy) and Archewell Productions (media content), and maintains strategic partnerships with the World Health Organization and ParentsTogether. Geographic operations span the United States (Los Angeles/Beverly Hills headquarters), the United Kingdom (London), and the Middle East (Jordan), with a claimed global beneficiary footprint.

The organization is funded through donations and grants rather than commercial revenue; one disclosed period shows $2.1 million in donations received against $5 million+ in expenses and $1.25 million in grants awarded, indicating the foundation draws on reserves or in-kind founder support to cover operations. The December 2025 restructuring introduced a fiscal sponsorship model intended to enable multi-generational family participation in philanthropy. Archewell Philanthropies does not sell products or services, employs between 1 and 10 staff, and is governed by its founders without institutional investors or a parent entity.
