===Historic Preservation Fund===
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 set the federal vision for historic preservation in the United States. To support the vision and framework laid out in this act, the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) was established in 1977 to provide financial assistance to, originally, states, to carry out activities related to preservation. Funding is provided from Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas lease revenues, not tax dollars, and an amount is appropriated annually by Congress. Awards from the HPF are made to States, Tribes, Territories, local governments, and non-profits.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historic Preservation Fund - Historic Preservation |url=https://www.nps.gov/subjects/historicpreservation/historic-preservation-fund.htm |date=October 19, 2021 |access-date=2022-11-08 |website=National Park Service |language=en |archive-date=November 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108155350/https://www.nps.gov/subjects/historicpreservation/historic-preservation-fund.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Two specific programs include the [[Save America's Treasures]] and the [[Preserve America]].
