Overview

Mission

To advocate for the preservation of historic buildings and promote public awareness and appreciation of historic architecture.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization holds an annual home tour [the legacy home tour] offering tickets to the event to the public. The tour showcases various homes in the community that represent the type of historic architecture the organization is dedicated to preserving. Ticket holders are provided a guidebook and invited to attend a gala hosted at the conclusion of the tour.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
