The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a privately funded nonprofit organization that works to save America’s historic places in ways that enrich our present and our future. Chartered by Congress in 1949, the National Trust is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with a portfolio of 28 National Trust Historic Sites, and grantmaking and advocacy efforts that connect us with thousands more historic places across the country. We work in collaboration with a variety of partners to preserve, protect, activate, and interpret historic places in ways that build vibrant and sustainable communities. We facilitate public participation in the preservation of sites, buildings, and objects of national significance or interest. We advocate with governments to save America’s heritage and we strive to create a cultural legacy that is as diverse as the nation itself so that all of us can take pride in our shared American story.
