The National Monuments Foundation mission is to create self-sustaining destination landmarks of national, historical and aesthetic relevance, as well as centers for cultural, civic and social activities for local and greater communities around the world.

Its Atlanta headquarters (within the Millennium Gate Museum, a 101 foot tall arch based on the Arch of Titus in Rome), preserves and interprets Georgia history, art, culture and philanthropic heritage as well as highlight Georgia’s historical and aesthetic relevance to the United States and to the world. With the successful completion of the Prince of Wales’s Olympics Monument and its destination landmark, the Millennium Gate Museum, both in Atlanta, the foundation has established its leadership role in development of “state of the art public space”, having received in 2006 the Palladio Award for best new public space in the United States. The foundation’s commitment to classical design for urban spaces has attracted the attention of numerous leaders in cities around the United States and other countries. These leaders desire to accomplish for their communities what the Millennium Gate Museum has for Atlanta; versatile and energizing community plazas, state of the art education facilities, and inspirational destinations that promote legacies of history, honor, and hope.

The Foundation’s purpose is uniquely in tune with the current social trends toward meaning, legacy and philanthropy. As demographics point out, the aging of the population coupled with a nearly global obsession with sustainability, drives interest in legacy and philanthropic initiatives. Monuments and their surrounding public spaces give back in ways that benefit the population across all social strata. Expertly designed public spaces around these monuments, themed around unique, meaningful, historic legacies promote inspiration and hope for the future for all.  Such benefit is integral to the Foundation’s mission.
