Non Profit and Humanitarian character

The International Institute for Heraldry and Nobility – International Heraldic Institute- has the exclusive representation and competence on the Princely House of Kiev, Tchernigov and Karatchev, Grand Dukes of Volhynia, Galicia and Lodomeria, Ruthenia and Carpathia, Princes of Yerevan.

The Institute, which has non profit character, is therefore a consultative organism to the Princely House and only deals with historical, heraldic and humanitarian purposes.

In fact the Institute is a not only a platform for study evaluation of historical titles of nobility and for the issuance or rehabilitation of new titles of nobility but only a way to encourage humanitarian endeavours: for the Institute, nobility is a matter of fact

Nobility means not only possessing a legal title of nobility, of certain origin and juridical validity but also to possess a noble aim, a noble attitude, therefore the International Institute for Heraldry and Nobility encourages:

-the Promotion of Humanitarian Attitude;

-the Promotion of Poverty alleviation;

-the promotion of Social inclusion.

It is in fact an expressed wish of the Princely Houses represented by the Institute to grant noble titles to eminent factors which partner their humanitarian endeavours and, in this view the Institute has undertaken an Agreement for humanitarian projects and poverty reduction, with an eminent UN accredited humanitarian body, specialized in sustainable scientific research, who is performing social programs to alleviate poverty in Africa.

Nobility is normally considered the highest dream of a lifetime, and for the Institute is also a meritocratic achievement

Meritocracy and humanitarian spirit should be the true basis of title nobility: nothing else.

Therefore the Institute encourages active and benevolent donations, directly addressed for humanitarian purposes in deserving countries.

And any substantial donation, if sufficiently sensitive to humanitarian and therefore effective for making a difference, shall be considered as the necessary merit for acquiring a title of nobility

For this the Institute has prepared a form with a relevant donation proposal, which will be directly evaluated by the Institute’s Council, and when accepted, will open the access to rehabilitation of an old title or the concession of a new title of nobility on favour of the donor.
