The Savoy Orders focus particularly on charitable activities in the field of health care. The largest Foundation grant during the past 18 months was a contribution to Saint Vincent’s Medical Center - Rudolph W. Giuliani Trauma Center in New York City. The grant was the final payment to help pay for and operate a specially equipped ambulance that will bear the Arms of the Royal House of Savoy.

      The Savoy Orders support cultural activities, particularly those with a connection to Italy. Recent grants by the Foundation have gone to the Charitable and Educational Trust, Sons of Italy in America and to Teatromania in support of a theatrical event “Orlando in Love,” based on Boiardo’s Renaissance poem “Orlando Innamorato.”

      In keeping with Chivalric values that call for protecting the poor and the defenseless, the Savoy Orders contribute to charities that serve children. A longstanding beneficiary of Savoy Foundation grants is Boys' Towns of Italy, Inc.

     The American Foundation of Savoy Orders, Inc. was approved in 2005 for Roster Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council ("ECOSOC") Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations ("NGO").
