Show Your Support of Historic Preservation to Congress

Preservationists have long advocated for the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), including funding for state and tribal historic preservation officers (SHPOs and THPOs) and several competitive grant programs that preserve, document, and exhibit America’s richly diverse histories. These programs address a wide variety of preservation needs across the country and fund various types of work.

Each year, the U.S. Congress engages in a lengthy process to determine funding levels for every agency and program supported by the federal government, including the HPF. Members of Congress need to hear from you, their constituents, that the HPF is important and should be robustly funded. The critical work of the HPF has expanded and requires increased annual investment from Congress, so this year we are asking for $225 million for the HPF. The annual funding amount for the program should reflect the ways in which it has grown to preserve the histories of more communities in America.

Reach out to your member of Congress today to encourage them to support $225 million for the HPF in fiscal year (FY) 2025!
