About The New York Landmarks
Conservancy:
The New
York Landmarks Conservancy is dedicated to celebrating,
preserving and protecting the iconic buildings and diverse
neighborhoods that define this vibrant and extraordinary
City. The Conservancy is the only private organization that
provides both financial and technical support in this
effort. Since its founding in 1973, it has loaned and
granted more than $36 million to help people save their
homes, cultural, civic and religious institutions. These
grants and loans have in turn mobilized more than $1 billion
in 1,550 restoration projects throughout New York providing
much-needed economic stimulus and local jobs. No other
group is engaged in such a hands-on way in protecting the
rich architectural heritage of the City. The Conservancy’s
work creates jobs, promotes tourism and enhances the quality
of life for all New Yorkers.
Each year, the Landmarks Conservancy honors distinguished
New Yorkers as “Living Landmarks” for their contributions to
the City. |
