The Trust for Architectural Easements® is one of the largest preservation easement holding organizations in the nation. We raise awareness about the need for historic preservation by providing grants to preservation organizations and community groups. And, through education initiatives directed at all ages, we foster greater appreciation for the historic structures that contribute to the beauty of our cities and towns.
Our name, the Trust for Architectural Easements®, highlights a critical but underutilized tool that promotes sustainable development practices and protects America’s historic buildings.
The Trust for Architectural Easements is not a chartered bank or trust company, or depository institution. It is not authorized to accept deposits or trust accounts and is not licensed or regulated by any state or federal banking authority.
