World Monuments Fund is more than an organization—it is a global community united by a shared commitment to preserving cultural heritage for future generations. 

As part of the World Monuments Fund International Council, members join a global community united by the belief that heritage sites are more than historical landmarks—they are living records of human history. 

Members of the International Council enjoy a robust global calendar of events and travel opportunities throughout the year, offering firsthand exposure to WMF’s most innovative and impactful projects.

WMF relies on the generosity of its donors to advance this vital work and ensure the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.
