Founded in 1989, Partners has helped several thousand congregations and other local organizations protect their community-serving sacred places in towns and cities across America. Between 2016 and 2024, it awarded $26 million to help preserve religious structures, aided by funding from foundations like the Lilly Endowment. Partners works with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to help communities through the process of figuring out how to adapt historically religious properties, including for new uses, and retain them as important anchors and architectural landmarks. == Partial list of projects == Mother Bethel A.M.E.
