We were the first organization in the country to develop a revolving fund as a preservation strategy. Through this Property Fund, we seek to purchase, stabilize and re-sell historic properties with protective covenants.

Our first revolving fund work was directed toward the Ansonborough neighborhood on the peninsula. Over several decades, the program helped rehabilitate more than 80 structures throughout the neighborhood.

We continue to purchase and protect important historic buildings across the Charleston historic district and beyond to ensure their preservation in perpetuity. Lauded nationwide, our program also serves as a model for other preservation organizations throughout the country.
