What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Delaware Preservation Fund
The Delaware Preservation Fund provides financial assistance to owners of historic properties. Assistance is usually in the form of mini-grants and rehabilitation loans.
The Fund was created by Preservation Delaware and incorporated in December of 2000. Seed money for the Fund was provided through the generosity of the General Assembly of the State of Delaware and the Longwood and Welfare Foundations. The Fund is administered by its own Board of Directors and a part-time Project Director.
The mission of the Delaware Preservation Fund is to preserve the architectural heritage and the historic built environment of Delaware, through financial assistance to owners of historic properties, through acquisition of unwanted and threatened properties, and through related support programs.

African American Cultural Resources Task Force of Delaware
To develop, categorize, catalogue and maintain a comprehensive inventory of historic African American sites in Delaware for the express purpose of documenting and acknowledging their existence, their significance as a historic place, and their present state of preservation, or the lack thereof. By compiling such a data base, members of the African American Cultural Resources Task Force of Delaware will be able to prioritize a list for preservation assistance, as well as showcasing African American historic places to the public.
Historic Preservation Workshops
Address and educate Delaware business and consumer groups on the importance of Historic Preservation.
Preservation Delaware Annual Meeting and Conference
Through a mix of recognized speakers, panel discussions, and networking, this conference will focus on how climate change impacts historic preservation and we will discuss how to mitigate the impact. In addition, we will examine the relationship between our carbon footprint and historic structures and why older structures may make economic and philosophical sense to save using “reuse and renew”.
