Funding Historic Preservation
The Federal Government supports historic preservation through a variety of funding sources and technical assistance programs. The National Park Service is a major source of support, but preservation assistance is also available, either directly or indirectly, from many other agencies. The Advisory Council for Historic Preservation has put together an online guide to assist the preservation community and general public in exploring the range of available preservation funding options.
