Your Legacy, Your Impact

The Historic House Trust is dedicated to preserving legacies. Participation in our Planned Giving Program offers an opportunity for your legacy of philanthropy to endure and provides a way to make an impact today with a gift for the future.  

There are several ways to support HHT through planned giving: Bequests, Outright Gifts, Life Insurance Policies, IRA and other retirement plans. Our Development Team can work with you to determine the type of planned gift that best suits your needs. Everyone who makes a planned gift with HHT becomes a member of our Legacy Society.

Shaping The Future

For over 35 years, the Historic House Trust of New York City has worked tirelessly to preserve, protect and promote 23 historic properties located in public parks across all five boroughs of New York City. Before we were founded, the sites suffered from decay, improper maintenance and inappropriate restoration treatments. Since 1989, we have overseen capital projects, emergency repairs and maintenance efforts to restore the sites and better prepare them for the future. Our work ensures the histories of these houses – the stories of the people who resided there and lives they led – not only continue on, but flourish.
