Gulf Coast RecoveryMore

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck a devastating blow to New Orleans, a city of exceptional historic and cultural value. This human tragedy risked being compounded by a cultural catastrophe. The National Trust for Historic Preservation quickly mobilized and, with our local partners, coordinated nearly a thousand volunteers, technical assistance, and grants. All of this could only be done with the quick and generous contributions of major donors, an outpouring of smaller donations, and the work of hundreds of dedicated volunteers.

Announcement

After four years of intensive involvement in the ongoing recovery effort, the National Trust for Historic Preservation's field office in New Orleans -- opened in the weeks following Hurricane Katrina -- closed in September 2009 due to the economic pressure of the recession. However, we are seeking funding to reopen the office and have recently received a challenge grant from some local New Orleans donors to aid our efforts.
