Partners in Preservation
Partners in Preservation is a program in which American Express, in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, awards preservation grants to historic places across the country. Through this program, American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation seek to increase the public’s awareness of the importance of historic preservation in the United States and to preserve America’s historic and cultural places.
This six year old program has awarded nearly 100 preservation projects with $6.5 million in grant funding. Projects in San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, Boston, Seattle and Saint Paul/Minneapolis have all been a part of the Partners in Preservation program. In 2012, the program will be in New York City.

“Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“And one of his partners asked “Has he vertigo?” and the other glanced out and down and said “Oh no, only about ten feet more.””
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
