Dear Friend,

Last week, I invited you to pledge your commitment to give to the National Trust on #GivingTuesday.

Your commitment ensures we can preserve America's history in the places where it happened. With you, we can shape our cultural legacy for generations to come.

When you make this simple pledge and then support us on #GivingTuesday, you’ll play a pivotal role in securing funds for the work of preserving the places that tell our American story. You’ll help protect historically significant places across the country…

…from the National Mall Tidal Basin, a beloved tribute to our national heritage that is facing major challenges like daily flooding, unstable sidewalks, outdated visitor facilities, and serious damage to its iconic cherry trees;

…to the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium, a unique ocean-water swimming pool that was dedicated in 1927 to honor the 10,000 Hawai’ian citizens who served in World War I;

…to scores of significant buildings, neighborhoods, public lands, and other pieces of our nation’s extraordinary mosaic of history, stories, and culture;

...and so much more.

If you didn’t get a chance to pledge your #GivingTuesday support, please do so now.

Thank you for committing to join us as we continue to protect the places that have shaped our diverse American story.

Gratefully,

Elizabeth Bruns Director of Member Engagement
