Your Gift Supports our Mission

Greater Portland Landmarks uses Portland’s heritage – its buildings, places, culture, and stories - as a catalyst for connection, affordability, and resilience. We engage the community to learn from its history, preserve special places, and encourage development that serves and inspires those who live, work, and visit Portland today and in the future.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on your donations to support our daily operations, programs, and ongoing work.

Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by federal tax law.

It’s Annual Appeal Time!

It has been a transformative year for Greater Portland Landmarks. This year, we built connections, completed a strategic plan, made bold advocacy efforts, and strengthened organizational capacity. The 60th Birthday Bash and Awards celebration in October reminded us how much Portland’s history means to our community, and the power of our voice when we come together to protect it.

There is still much work to do, as we face challenging times. With our new strategic plan, we are stepping into a bold new chapter of preservation. Your help is essential as we reach higher than ever to achieve this year’s Annual Appeal goal of $100,000. Help us build a culture of giving to ensure we have the resources to stand up for Portland’s heritage and defend the places that shape our shared identity.

Read our 2025 Annual Appeal to learn about the initiatives we’ll be focusing on this coming year, the contemporary issues we’re addressing, and why preservation isn’t just about saving buildings.
