Preservation South Carolina 2025 Appeal
Thank you for supporting our efforts to preserve South Carolina’s historic places. Since 1990, we have helped save landmarks, advocated successfully for statewide preservation incentives, worked collaboratively to recognize outstanding preservation work through the SC Historic Preservation Awards, and accepted perpetual conservation easements on more than 40 properties across South Carolina. This past year has seen Preservation South Carolina continue its decades-long work, as well as break ground on new projects and initiatives.
Current Projects & Initiatives
In order to meet our state's most pressing needs, we have used support from people like you to create programs that address the preservation of our historic rural churches, the revitalization of smaller community downtowns, and the saving of significant African American landmarks. Below are a few of our current statewide projects and initiatives.
