Located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, the Alamo stands as a shrine to Texas Liberty. Visitors pay homage to the heroes of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, a defining moment in Texas History. The Alamo tells that story of Texas independence, as part of its 300 year history to over 1.6 million visitors every year.

The Alamo belongs to the people of Texas. In 2011, the Texas Legislature and Gov. Rick Perry designated the Texas General Land Office (GLO) the custodian of the Alamo on behalf of the people of Texas. The GLO contracts with Alamo Trust, Inc. to care for the Alamo grounds and historic structures, develop educational programs for visitors, and tell the story of the Battle and its role in Texas history.

Alamo Trust, Inc. (ATI) is a non-profit charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) that manages day-to-day operations and staff at the Alamo. ATI is proud to offer daily activities such as entrance to the historic Alamo Church and Long Barrack, school visits, a Living History encampment and demonstrations, educational film, and special exhibits, all free of charge.

All of its income and expenses are tracked and reported through the Texas General Land Office, and all revenues generated on-site are deposited with the Texas State Comptroller.
