Preservation Action Information

Preservation Action is a 501c4 nonprofit organization created in 1974 to serve as the national grassroots lobby for historic preservation. Preservation Action seeks to make historic preservation a national priority by advocating to all branches of the federal government for sound preservation policy and programs through a grassroots constituency empowered with information and training and through direct contact with elected representatives. The Preservation Action Foundation (founded as Center for Preservation Initiatives) was established as a 501(c)3 to be the educational and charitable vehicle of Preservation Action (PA). PAF promotes understanding of federal policies and programs that affect heritage, develops educational resources, and inspires and informs the next generation of preservation advocates.
