The National Trust of Georgia was founded in October 2016, in association with the National Trust of Great Britain’s international branch INTO.
Georgia possesses a large number of historic sites worthy of saving and promoting. However, the country currently has no independent national organisation that enables individuals to express their concern and affection for the nation’s heritage. The National Trust of Georgia provides this alongside a practical means of helping to preserve buildings and land. Its knowledge base and experience help show private owners many methods of saving their own properties, not as yet demonstrated by the state, plus offer a means of expressing their pride for their nation – by joining as Trust members. The organisation encourages the population towards important heritage awareness and also link Georgians into a growing global trend of preserving historical property and landscape before it disappears.
In 2023, the National Trust of Georgia in collaboration with ICOMOS Georgia, and Blue Shield Georgia, established a Cultural Heritage Platform. The platform invited non-governmental organizations active in the field of heritage to create a space for sharing challenges and successful experiences in heritage preservation. Today, the Platform unites 12 organizations and operates independently.
