In 2006, with the support of the [[Knoll (company)|Knoll]] furniture company, WMF launched "Modernism at Risk", an advocacy and conservation program for [[Modernist architecture]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.knoll.com/news/prstory.jsp?story_id=4045 |title="World Monuments Fund Responds to Modern Buildings at Risk: New Initiative Launched With Major Gift From Knoll as Program's Founding Sponsor," June 9, 2006 |publisher=Knoll.com |date=9 June 2006 |access-date=18 November 2010}}</ref>  Through this initiative, the biennial '''World Monuments Fund / Knoll Modernism Prize''' was established in 2008. The inaugural prize was awarded to Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten for the restoration of the former [[ADGB Trade Union School]] in Germany, which was inscribed as part of the [[Bauhaus World Heritage Site]] in July 2017.
