The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA

The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA (NTSUSA) is an independent, non-profit organisation that enables Americans who love Scotland to support the National Trust for Scotland’s conservation mission while receiving valuable tax benefits.

NTSUSA members live in all 50 states and – whether Scottish by birth, ancestry or inclination – are united by a commitment to protecting Scotland’s heritage and natural beauty, now and for generations to come.

Since 2000, NTSUSA has granted more than $11 million to the National Trust for Scotland. Among the critical projects that NTSUSA members have recently supported are:

The acquisition of the Treshnish Isles and Mackintosh at the Willow
The purchase of livestock for conservation grazing at Culloden Battlefield
The construction of a turf house at Glencoe
Ongoing conservation of Culzean Castle’s walled garden, outbuildings, and fountain

A large sea stack stands close to an island, separated only by a narrow channel. The stack has a grassy top and then a rocky base. The rocky areas are covered in seabirds.
