PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS
St. Mark's Historic Landmark Fund The St. Mark's Historic Landmark Fund was founded by a group of concerned citizens in 1979 following a devastating fire at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, a remarkable East Village ensemble of buildings and landscaped property dating back to 1799. Originally the Citizens to Save St. Mark's, the Landmark Fund embarked on an ambitious renewal project and—in a program that drew national attention—rebuilt the church. New York Society for Acoustic Ecology (NYSAE) NYSAE is a membership organization that advocates listening and promotes public dialog about the urban sound environment. NYSAE creates and encourages new ways of encountering sound and provides resources and information on acoustic ecology. Through projects, lectures, performances, exhibitions, festivals, publications and broadcasts, NYSAE addresses historical and contemporary local, national and international sound issues. NYC Audubon champions nature in the city's five boroughs through a combination of engaging and entertaining programs, and innovative conservation campaigns. Through its efforts, NYC Audubon saves and protects over 350 species of birds that live in the 12,000 acres of vast and diverse wetlands, forests and grasslands of New York City. Wildlife Conservation Society Mannahatta Project The aim of the Mannahatta Project is to reconstruct the ecology of Manhattan when Henry Hudson first sailed by in 1609 and compare it to what we know of the island today. The Mannahatta Project will help us to understand, down to the level of one city block, where in Manhattan streams once flowed or where American Chestnuts may have grown, where black bears once marked territories, and where the Lenape fished and hunted. free103point9 is a non-profit media arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating Transmission Arts.

St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery Building on the enduring heritage and values shared between the peoples of the Netherlands and the United States, The Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) seeks to further strengthen the bonds between our two countries through exchange in the arts, sciences, education, business and public affairs.
