A phone call or an email opens the door to expert coaching, consultation and technical assistance. Our new shared field services program with the National Trust for Historic Preservation reached over 60 communities this year. Our staff comes to your community and will work closely with you to answer questions on topics such as funding, contractors, legal issues, or public relations; and help advance local preservation projects. Our Preservation Services grants provide key seed money to steer projects to success. Evaluating the condition of an historic building or a developing a fundraising "road map" to save a community landmark are typical requests that we have funded.
