The mission of the Trust is to engage, educate and inspire the public through interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design legacy and preservation of his original sites for future generations.

The Trust was established in 1974 as a not-for-profit organization, to acquire and preserve Wright's Home and Studio in Oak Park as the place where Wright formulated the architectural principles he retained throughout his career. In 1975, the Home and Studio became a co-stewardship property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Home and Studio.

Today the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust has 65 employees and 650 volunteers who serve an audience of 150,000 site visitors and 1 million virtual visitors from around the world each year. Trust activities include tours, workshops, teacher training, student internships, school outreach, family activities, multi-media programs, a restoration resource center, library/archive, a membership program, a travel program, and multi-channel merchandising operated by the Trust and the Trust in alliance with its Chicago area partner organizations. The Trust is governed by a Board of Directors to whom the President and CEO reports. The Trust receives donations and grants from local, national and international individuals, foundations and corporations.

The Trust conducts ongoing historic preservation and operates public tours, programs and events at major Wright sites in five Chicago area locations: Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (1889/1898), The Rookery Light Court (1905-07), Unity Temple (1905-08), Frederick C. Robie House (1908-10), and the Emil Bach House (1915).
