PRESERVE THE MODERN

Join the Glass House Community

What is the Glass House Community? 
The Glass House Community is a diverse group of modern enthusiasts who support the Glass House, the center for modernism of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Each visitor to the Philip Johnson Glass House and every donor that supports us becomes a vital part of the Glass House community contributing to the dynamic dialogue of Modern preservation. 

Who is the Glass House Community? 

Donors represent cultural organizations, work for leading design firms, teach at academic institutions, travel the globe as modern architecture tourists, are thought leaders participating in our ongoing dialogue on modernism, artists responding to the site, students participating hands-on, and corporate leaders seeking a creative catalyst.

How can I become involved? 
The Glass House welcomes donors at all giving levels. Your donation inspires us and funds our ability to deliver our mission. As a donor of the Glass House, you are supporting a site budget of $1.9 million which sustains and supports:

  • The Glass House's 47-acre site
  • Educational programs that continue the site’s legacy as a place of innovation
  • On-site preservation initiatives to conserve artwork and modern buildings
  • Development of the Glass House as a national center for modernism
