The National Trust for Historic Preservation is an American member-supported organization which was founded in 1949 by Congressional Charter to support preservation of historic buildings and neighborhoods through a range of programs and activities. Its mission statement states: :"The National Trust for Historic Preservation provides leadership, education and advocacy to save America's diverse historic places and revitalize our communities." Each year since 1988, the National Trust for Historic Preservation lists " America's Most Endangered Places " in an effort to protect America's architectural, cultural, and natural heritage. In recent years this list has included:
NATIONAL TRUST HISTORIC SITES Twenty eight sites are designated as National Trust Historic Sites. Most are owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and operated by other non-profit organizations (e.g., Farnsworth House); some are owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (e.g., Drayton Hall); and some are owned and operated by other non-profit organizations and hold a long-term cooperative agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation (e.g., Lower East Side Tenement Museum). These sites currently include:
HISTORIC HOTELS OF AMERICA The National Trust has also compiled a list of hotels registered as "Historic Hotels of America" because they are at least 50 years old and have faithfully maintained their historic character and ambience. NATIONAL TRUST COMMUNITY INVESTMENT CORPORATION NTCIC, the for-profit subsidiary of the National Trust, makes equity investments in real estate projects that qualify for federal historic tax credits and when available, state historic and New Markets Tax Credits.
