The Worshipful Company of Founders is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Founders, or workers in brass and bronze, were incorporated under a Royal Charter in 1614. However, with the development of technology, the ancient craft grew obsolete. Now, the Company exists, along with a majority of Livery Companies, as a charitable foundation. It also supports the foundry industry by awarding research grants and scholarships.
The Founders' Company ranks thirty-third in the order of precedence of Livery Companies. Its motto is God, The Only Founder.
