We are a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity organization. We work worldwide with civil society groups and individuals to defend cultural heritage. For us and the friends we support, culture is not something abstract. Culture is what we are proud of, what makes us feel at home, what we like to show off to our visitors. But, culture is often embattled. Ordinary people everywhere try their best to protect the places and legacies they love. It can feel like a losing battle…so our mission at ARCH is to bring in some outside muscle. That includes YOU, if saving culture is personal for you too.
