WASHINGTON TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Most Endangered Places List
Since 1992, the Washington Trust has maintained a list of Most Endangered Places, bringing attention to threatened buildings, sites, and historic places.
Valerie Sivinski Fund
The Valerie Sivinski Fund is an annual grant program that provides grants of up to $3,000 to organizations and community groups engaged in historic preservation around our state. The grant program truly embodies the mission of the Washington Trust by supporting historic preservation where it really happens: at the community level.
Youth Heritage Project
Youth Heritage Project (YHP) is a FREE overnight summer program for high-school students, focused on the history, culture, and nature of Washington’s special places. Each year, YHP students visit a new location for fun and engaging place-based activities, learning about how different histories and resources shape the community. Through scavenger hunts, hikes, site visits, boat trips, museums, tours, and more, participants explore how remembering, preserving, and sharing stories from the past can help shape the future. Then YHP students are paired with local organizations to address real-world issues in the community for the flagship student project presentation day at the conclusion of the camp. YHP helps high school students learn how to shape their communities through participation and activism, inspiring the next generation of leaders to get involved with the places that matter to them.
Maritime Washington National Heritage Area
The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area is a non-regulatory, regionwide partnership program that strengthens, shares, and connects our state’s maritime communities and resources. We know that the peoples and organizations along Washington’s saltwater shorelines can have limited opportunity to collaborate and celebrate their vibrant water-based cultures—often leaving Washington’s maritime heritage under-appreciated. That’s why Maritime Washington partners with diverse, cross-sector organizations to connect the maritime community, protect our resources, and connect residents and visitors alike with our state’s maritime heritage.
