What is the Historic Preservation Fund?
The HPF was established by Congress in 1976 and provides funds authorized annually to support the programs and activities identified in the National Historic Preservation Act. Programs that recently received funding include the State Historic Preservation Offices, Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, Certified Local Governments, and grant programs such as Save America's Treasures and Preserve America. The fund is administered in a partnership between the National Park Service and the states through state historic preservation offices, tribes, and local governments. The HPF provides support for a wide range of projects and programs across the nation.
