THE ROYAL OAK FOUNDATIONAmericans in Alliance with the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland

September 2016 Dear Royal Oak Community: On behalf of the Royal Oak Board of Directors and staff, we express our continued gratitude to you, our loyal community of members, donors and friends, who help sustain the Foundation’s mission to support the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Together, we preserve British history and landscapes and encourage experiences that teach and inspire. It is with pleasure that we present to you the 2015 Annual Report and share highlights from a very full and busy year. We marked our 42nd year as an American affiliate of the National Trust in 2015. Having embarked on a number of changes – from new office space and staff to new programmatic initiatives, we have stayed true to our mission to inspire Americans to learn about, experience, and support places of great historic and natural significance in the UK. While honoring our past, we endeavor to better serve our Anglophile community in the United States. Our 2015 Appeal for the National Trust’s Furniture Research and Publication Project allowed the Trust to grow their staff and appoint Dr. Wolf Burchard as the Royal Oak Paul Mellon Curator of Furniture Research. The 2015 Appeal also enabled a grant to the National Trust that will enhance catalogue entries for all furniture objects across the Trust’s collection making it accessible by researchers, curators and the curious all over the world. Additionally, this project will provide research and photography for a definitive new book, Furniture in National Trust Houses, by the Trust’s celebrated Curator of Furniture, Christopher Rowell. Central to our mission is membership. Through Royal Oak membership, not only do you gain access to the National Trust’s 500 properties, you provide critical financial support for art and antiquities conservation, furniture restoration, academic scholarship and scientific research. In addition, you protect beautiful wild and cultivated landscapes and help develop enriching cultural heritage exhibitions and education programs. As you review this Annual Report, we encourage you to reflect with us on a formative year of change – a year of successes and challenges – and a reminder for us at Royal Oak, we could not do our work without you. Respectfully, Lynne Rickabaugh Lori Brittle Chairman Executive Director

EXPERIENCE & LEARN | Membership

In 2015 we looked more closely at membership retention, and our main focus is continuing to highlight the benefits of being part of our community of history, nature, and preservation enthusiasts. As an investment in our future, a number of Royal Oak Board Members sponsor student memberships at their alma maters for students spending a semester abroad in the UK, so that they might experience the National Trust during their stay.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Royal Oak is supported by a steady group of approximately 7,000 members. Members provide important support for our operations, and the fees are fully tax-deductible contributions. We want to help keep our members in touch with what they loved about their visit to the UK and give them ideas for their next trip, whenever that might be. We encourage all members to visit our social media feeds including the blog on our website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. Join our community of enthusiastic Anglophiles!

EXPERIENCE & LEARN | Heritage Circle UK Study DayThere are various categories of membership ranging from Student & Young Professional to our upper level Heritage Circle memberships. Our Heritage Circle supporters continue to grow, as has our special access offerings for these members.

For instance in 2015, we had our first London Study Day for Heritage Circle members focused on the work of Robert Adam. It was fully subscribed and encouraged a number of people to join or upgrade their memberships.

EXPERIENCE & LEARN | Drue Heinz Lecture Series & Royal Oak Programs

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

For over 25 years, Royal Oak has offered public lecture programs. Royal Oak’s programming has brought some of Britain’s most respected scholars and curators to lecture to audiences across the United States. The lectures highlight significant scholarship and academic research on a wide range of topics regarding British history, architecture and design, decorative arts, and fine arts. With lead funding from the Drue Heinz Trust since 1992, Royal Oak has planned and executed over 1,000 lectures by 200 speakers in 66 U.S. cities.

In 2015 almost 3,600 people attended the total of 65 lectures given in 11 cities during our Spring and Fall program seasons.Highlights of 2015 included Dr. Tracy Borman’s lectures about Thomas Cromwell based on new material in her book, Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII’s Most Faithful Servant; the lectures of the Duke of Wellington on the bicentennial of the Battle of Waterloo and the family legacy of Apsley House and Stratfield Saye; and the lectures of Nicholas Ashley-Cooper, 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, relating to ongoing restoration of his family’s seat, St. Giles in Dorset. We presented two fascinating talks involving the Churchills: Dr. Michael Shelden spoke about Sir. Winston’s early life, the subject of his work, Young Titan: The making of Winston Churchill, and Sonia Parnell reviewed the findings of her new book First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill.

ATTINGHAM SUMMER SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Royal Oak awarded $30,000 to the American Friends of Attingham in support of full and partial scholarships for Americans participating in the 2015 Attingham Summer School.

Since its inception in 1952, the Attingham Summer School has hosted numerous American scholars, curators, architects and designers, acquainting them with the architectural and social history of the English country house over several centuries. Royal Oak’s support of over $555,000 to date has enabled over 153 Americans to participate in this program.

DAMARIS HORAN PRIZE FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTUREThe Damaris Horan Prize is a biennial residential fellowship with the Trust focused on landscape history and horticulture. Established by The Mudge Foundation and named for Royal Oak’s Executive Director from 1987 to 2003, the Horan Prize provides training and educational opportunities for individuals with a professional interest in the history, management and conservation of historic landscapes and gardens.

The 2015 Damaris Horan Prize was awarded to Justin Kegley of Pearl River, New York. Kegley’s project used cutting-edge drone photography to document Lancelot “Capability” Brown landscapes protected by the National Trust. The footage will ultimately be used in conjunction with the Trust’s development of programs to celebrate the tercentennial of Brown’s birth in 2016.

2015 FURNITURE RESEARCH & PUBLICATION

The National Trust is home to nearly 70,000 objects of furniture and frames. Much of this impressive collection has remained undocumented. In 2015 The Royal Oak Foundation, in partnership with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Arts, helped fund an exhaustive research and cataloguing project for all furniture objects across the National Trust’s collection, and thus making this renowned collection accessible worldwide.

Royal Oak’s appeal raised $165,000 to enhance catalogue entries and publish them via the National Trust Collections online catalogue, an invaluable tool for scholars, curators and collectors. The funds also supported research and pho-tography for a definitive new book, “Furniture in National Trust Houses,” by the Trust’s Curator of Furniture, Christo-pher Rowell, to be published by the Yale University in 2019.

Undesignated bequests made to The Foundation will be held in The Royal Oak Legacy Fund, which is a board-designated endowment fund whose earnings support Royal Oak’s work with the National Trust.

2015 Ronald Lee Fleming Legacy Challenge Thank you for helping Royal Oak raise $835,402* with the Ronald Lee Fleming Legacy Challenge to ensure the future of our lecture series. We thank Mr. Ronald Fleming for creating this exciting opportunity to secure an endowment for Royal Oak lectures, as he matched all direct contributions and legacy pledges on a one-to-two ratio up to $500,000.

The money raised will go into the Ronald Lee Fleming Lectures Fund which will continue to accept donations.

*Includes pledges received that have been discounted (per IRS rate) for individuals 69 years of age or younger.
