Partners in Preservation

Only one of 40 worthy contenders: the Museum of the American Indian.

Partners in Preservation, a community-based program that provides grants for the preservation of local historic places, is coming to NYC. What does this mean for us? Well, it means that up through May 21st, everyone can vote for their favorites among 40 historic places throughout our five boroughs to receive preservation funding. There are many worthy institutions on the list, from the Caribbean Cultural Center to the Henry Street Settlement to the Louis Armstrong House Museum to the Brown Memorial Baptist Church, and you get one vote a day, so vote early and often! Registration is quick and easy. The total giveaway (which is funded by American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation) is three million dollars – so help spread the cheddar.
