Gulf Coast RecoveryMore

Four years ago 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

The National Trust for Historic Preservation's field office in New Orleans -- opened in the weeks following Hurricane Katrina -- closed at the end of September due to the economic reality of the current 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.
