Membership:The American Battlefield Trust is a membership-based organization with approximately 45,000 active members from all 50 states, and more than a dozen territories and other nations. Each quarter, every member receives our 48-page magazine, Hallowed Ground, as a free educational membership benefit. The magazine highlights how their direct support helps preserve endangered Civil War and Revolutionary War battlefield land, advances the cause of education about this key period in our Nation's history, and educates them directly on historical elements of importance about the Nation's first 100 years, and land preservation. The Trust depends upon its members and supporters to help fulfill its battlefield preservation and education missions every year through their dues payments, as well as additional charitable gifts. The Trust also has a major donor society, as a subset of its overall membership, called the Color Bearers, comprised of those members who make dues payments of $1,000 or more annually. Total membership in this group was approximately 1,500 members at the end of the fiscal year. The Trust also recognizes those nearly 1,500 members who have also made a planned gift to preservation in a special group called the Honor Guard. Further, the Trust enjoys the support of more than 409,000 followers on Facebook, 186,000 on YouTube, 45,500 on Twitter, 35,000 on Instagram, and 4,900 on LinkedIn, opening new pools of potential future supporters.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesApr 1, 2021 – Mar 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.4MNational Teacher Institute

The Education Department expanded its many video offerings with more than 200 new videos including a first of its kind Battlefield Driving Tour, a series of animated short history videos for students, new animated maps and more. Our Field Trip Fund and Traveling Trunk Programs were suspended when the pandemic hit but we have worked on virtual field trips instead.
