World Monuments Fund Launches Campaign
The World Monuments Fund (WMF) has launched a $60m endowment campaign to secure its long-term sustainability.
This fundraising effort coincides with the organisation's 60th anniversary and was bolstered by a $10m contribution from historian and philanthropist Suzanne Deal Booth.
WMF has worked on various preservation projects, including stabilising Phnom Bakheng, the state temple of the first Khmer capital at Angkor in Cambodia, in 2019.

The campaign aims to address the increasing uncertainty around support for cultural heritage preservation, including widespread cuts to US federal funding.
