Historic Preservation Fund
- Historic Preservation Fund
The purpose of the U.S. Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) is to help fund the programs engendered by the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Monies for the Fund were significantly expanded in 1976, when Congress approved deposits to the HPF from Outer Continental Shelf oil leases. The HPF aids the various State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO) by providing them matching grants, which are used towards historic preservation across the U.S.[ [http://www.ncshpo.org/HPFPreservation/HPF.htm National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers - HPF/Preservation Issues] ] The SHPO's, as well as Native American Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPO) [ [http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/hpg/tribal/index.htm Tribal Heritage, National Park Service] ] , have received nearly $37 million each year from the Fund since 1970.][ [http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/hpg/HPF/index.htm Historic Preservation Grants, National Park Service] ] The total outlay from the HPF's inception has exceeded $1 billion.][ [http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/hpf/hpf-fund.htm Heritage Preservation Fund grants, National Park Service] ] ] Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO)
