How has American Express been involved in preservation previously?
The American Express Partners in Preservation program builds upon the company’s decade-long relationship with the World Monuments Fund (WMF) and establishes a new partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Partners in Preservation program is dedicated to preserving sites both in the U.S. and around the world. American Express is the founding sponsor of WMF’s World Monuments Watch program, established in 1995 to call international attention to and ensure the preservation of cultural heritage sites around the world that are threatened by neglect, vandalism, armed conflict or natural disaster. The company has contributed more than $10 million over the past ten years to help preserve historic sites in 59 countries from the World Monuments Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites. In the bay Area, the Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers was previously on the World Monuments Watch List and received an American Express grant in 1996 to begin restoration.
In September 2006, with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, American Express allocated $1 million in preservation grants to the First Church of Christ, Scientist and 13 additional sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the selected sites have already broken ground, while others are finalizing their planning to assure successful project completion in 2008.
