International Council

The International Council is a prestigious circle of visionary leaders from around the world who care about cultural heritage. International Council members play a key role at World Monuments Fund, working with WMF’s leadership to expand our reach and maximize our impact through facilitating partnerships, identifying and fundraising for projects of international stature, and advocating for the importance of preserving cultural heritage.

WMF is headquartered in New York City and supported by a global network of offices and affiliates across Cambodia, China, France, India, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. As a member, you'll enjoy global access to exclusive events, curated programs, and extraordinary travel experiences that offer behind-the-scenes access to WMF projects and the people preserving some of the world’s most treasured places.
