Dear Friend,

There are three powerful words that always pique my attention whenever I’m listening to a story, whether it’s a personal narrative or a recounting of historical events. “This is where…”

This short phrase sets the stage for our grandest stories and most treasured memories. They’re especially important words to keep in our nation’s vocabulary as we work hard to connect to the places and people that make up our shared American story.

Will you show your love for historic places in America by becoming one of our valued partners during our Monthly Donor Drive?

So far, we’ve welcomed 22 new Preservation Partners who have committed to show their preservation support through monthly giving. But we need 33 more to reach our goal.

The intersection of places, people, and our past is an essential crossroads in understanding who we are and where we come from. It’s also why we value our monthly supporters—because they make preservation an ongoing priority!

Preservation Partners are truly leaders in preservation as they show their commitment to saving places for the long-haul. They understand why places matter and aren’t just giving to save them for today—they want to make sure future generations can walk where history happened, too.

As a Preservation Partner, you will...

• Receive award-winning Preservation magazine,
• Access thoughtfully curated preservation content through an invite-only webinar,
• Get insider insights into preservation work through a quarterly e-newsletter exclusive to monthly donors, and
• Secure special travel and admission discounts to National Trust sites and Distinctive Destinations nationwide.

I hope you’ll join this special group of preservation champions and make your first monthly gift today.

The National Trust has come to rely on this stable source of funding as we move our preservation initiatives forward and save the places that house our rich history and the stories of so many of our nation’s forebearers.

Plus, when you give $18 or more per month, we’ll send you a limited-edition 8x10-inch frame quality print of Mies van der Rohe’s modernist masterpiece, Farnsworth House—our gift of thanks for your generous monthly commitment.

Thank you for ensuring we can continue to preserve places across America and recognize historic sites and treasures as a valued and vibrant part of our nation’s storytelling.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Bruns Director of Member Engagement
