Preserve America is a White House initiative in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, and Transportation; U.S. General Services Administration; National Endowment for the Humanities; President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities; Institute of Museum and Library Services; and the President's Council on Environmental Quality.

Preserve America Stewards

Applications are now being accepted in a new recognition program of the
Preserve America initiative -- Preserve America Stewards -- which will
honor exemplary volunteer efforts at historic resources around the
country. Mrs. Laura Bush, First Lady and Honorary Chair of Preserve
America, announced the new program at the Preserve America Presidential
Awards ceremony on May 12 at the White House.

The program will recognize stewardship programs that have demonstrated a
successful use of volunteer time and commitment in order to help care
for our cultural heritage. Government entities (federal, tribal, state,
or local), non-profit organizations, and businesses are eligible to
apply to have their programs recognized.
