American Heritage Preservation Association

Ahpa is a 501(c)(3) organization engaged in charitable, educational and advisory activities ("charitable mission") that help preserve, protect, and improve certified historic structures and land areas listed on the national register of historic places ("historic properties"). Ahpa's activities in pursuit of its charitable mission are designed to serve the public good and provide social benefits as intended by federal and state historic preservation legislation. Ahpa advises and assists owners of historic properties on how to qualify for available potential tax incentives offered by governmental agencies to encourage conservation contributions, facade easements, and historic preservations under national park service's "secretary of the interior's standards and guidelines for archeology and historic preservation" ("nps standards") for the rehabilitation of historic properties.
