We think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship ...
Your support is a prime reason why the Upper West Side remains one of the world's truly great neighborhoods. LW! recognizes that friends like you are the foundation of our success. After all,
why preserve this beauty, this character, this spirit if not for the people who live here, work here, build
futures here?
In 2011, we institutionalized "membership" as a way to formally recognize your sustaining support with such benefits as:
- Discounted priority admission to our ever-popular, always sold-out public programs, including walking tours, lectures, and more (to see our events calendar, please visit http://www.landmarkwest.org/events.html)
- Opportunities to participate in free, family-friendly programs offered throughout the year (prefect for spending quality time with the kids and grandkids)
- Behind-the-scenes access to the Upper West Side's most beautiful and intriguing landmarks
You see, it really is a friendship. You give, LW! gives back. The whole neighborhood flourishes. And, starting at a modest $50, LW! membership is perhaps the smartest investment you can make in your community.

The proof of LW's effectiveness--and the ongoing need for our existence--is all around you. Today, the Upper West Side boasts nearly 2,700 protected landmarks, up from only 337 when LW! began its work 27 years ago. Look out your window. See something you love? Chances are it's there because of LW! See something you don't like? Chances are we're working on a solution. For more information about some of our most recent achievements and key projects, click here. And please don't hesitate to contact us to learn more. Remember, LW! is the only watchdog organization diligently focused on preserving the buildings, businesses, streetscapes, and parks that distinguish the Upper West Side, all the way from 59th to 110th Street, Riverside Park to Central Park. With a small professional staff (4 full-time experts in the fields of preservation, planning, and education), plus a handful of bright interns and scores of dedicated volunteers, we run a tight ship. Our toolkit includes constant vigilance, education, advocacy, and active engagement at all levels of discussion and decisionmaking. We're real people making a real difference. Every day since 1985. We want you (need you!) to activate or renew your LW! membership. Think of it as quality-of-life insurance. We look forward to hearing from you!
