It's Easy to Support USModernist/NCModernist
America's mid-century Modernist houses are brilliant, livable works of art, yet they are being bulldozed in record numbers - largely because buyers, sellers, realtors, and cities are unaware of their importance - or how to preserve, repair, and protect them. You can't save something if you don't know where it is, so support for documentation and research programs is critical.
Modernist Archive, Inc. is a 501C3 North Carolina nonprofit educational archive
operating as USModernist and NCModernist. All donations are tax-deductible.
Our EIN is 26-3643357.
