Preserve America
Category: Community
DescriptionThe national Initiative was developed in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the U.S. Departments of Defense, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Education, as well as other government agencies. It highlights the efforts of the President and First Lady to preserve our national heritage. One of the Initiative’s components is the designation of Preserve America Communities. To be named a Preserve America Community, communities must meet three general criteria. They must have recently supported a historic or cultural preservation project that’s promoted and/or is promoting heritage tourism or otherwise fostering economic vitality and involved in a public-private partnership between government entities and at least one civic association, nonprofit, and/or business enterprise. The community’s governing body has adopted a resolution indicating its commitment to the preservation of its heritage assets. The community meets at least five criteria specified in three broad categories: discovering heritage through historic places, protecting historic resources, and promoting historic assets. While not a grantmaking organization, gaining status as a Preserve America Community can help attract funds to other projects. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
