Financials and Governance

Global Heritage Fund is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, making donations tax-deductible. The organization's primary source of revenue is from contributions, with some income from program services. It has a significant presence in the UK and Asia through registered entities that work towards the same mission. The executive leadership includes Nada Hosking as the Executive Director.

Strategic Affiliations

In 2023, Global Heritage Fund announced a strategic affiliation with the World Monuments Fund, enhancing its capacity to protect cultural heritage globally. This partnership integrated some of Global Heritage Fund's projects into the World Monuments Fund's portfolio.

Impact and Challenges

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Heritage Fund faced challenges in engaging donors due to travel restrictions. The organization adapted by focusing on visual storytelling and digital content strategies to showcase its work and maintain donor engagement. This shift led to increased website visits and improved collaboration across its global sites.
