World Monuments Fund

WMF is dedicated to saving the world’s most treasured places. The stories sites tell are universal. The dangers they face are immense. The cultural treasures that have been entrusted to us are under constant attack by time, neglect, natural forces, and human actions. Preserving this heritage has been the overriding mission of the World Monuments Fund for half a century.
