OthersPreserving and Sustaining Unique Historic Places for the Future"It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future." -- William J. Murtagh Historic Preservation is about saving basket imitation golden goose and sustaining historic places – preserving them for future use and protecting them for all to enjoy. It helps us to understand who we are and shapes relationships with our neighbors and other communities around the world. At American Express, we believe that respect for – and celebration of – these historic places is vital to ensuring that their history lives on and that the public understands the significance they have in sustaining communities today and for future generations. We support organizations and projects that preserve or rediscover major historic sites and monuments in order to provide ongoing sustainable access and enjoyment for current and future audiences. The programs we support include historic landmarks and public spaces. We emphasize preserving sites that represent diverse cultures. Criteria: Supported projects embrace the preservation, restoration or sustainability of historic places and demonstrate their significance to the community through one or more of the following: Restoring historic places to ensure ongoing public access and interaction with the sites.
