The National Trust for Historic Preservation is an American member-supported organization which was founded in 1949 by congressional charter to support preservation of historic buildings and neighborhoods through a range of programs and activities.

Its mission statement states:

Most are owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and operated by other non-profit organizations (e.g., Farnsworth House); some are owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (e.g., Drayton Hall); and some are owned and operated by other non-profit organizations and hold a long-term cooperative agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation (e.g., Lower East Side Tenement Museum). These sites currently include:

The National Trust has also compiled a list of hotels registered as "Historic Hotels of America" because they are at least 50 years old and have faithfully maintained their historic character and ambience.

NTCIC, the for-profit subsidiary of the National Trust, makes equity investments in real estate projects that qualify for federal historic tax credits and when available, state historic and New Markets Tax Credits.
