The National Trust for Historic Preservation received a $5 million grant from the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust to disperse to projects nationwide. The money will hopefully be directed towards areas that have not received as much government funding. Campaigns are also being conducted to educate people on the "green" aspects of restoration, such as energy efficiency and environmentally-friendly materials. Wilson's donation is the largest the Trust has received, and he is hoping that his contribution will prompt other groups to fund the grant program as well in the Trust's quest to educate and raise public awareness regarding the significance of historical preservation.
