Donate to the Preservation Advocacy Fund The Conservancy created its Preservation Advocacy Fund in 1996 in the wake of one of our most controversial, costly, and ultimately successful preservation battles: halting the demolition of the 1876 Cathedral of St. Vibiana and preserving its landmark status. Since then, the Preservation Advocacy Fund has become a special source of funds to draw upon when a preservation issue arises that calls for expenditures that are not within the Conservancy's budget. Donations to the Advocacy Fund are above and beyond annual membership dues. Click here to donate to the Preservation Advocacy Fund Thanks for your support! |
