HPF is a 501[c]3 non-profit and largely volunteer organization. It is headed by a 15 to 21 member board comprised of area residents as well as past residents still interested in seeing Petersburg’s history preserved. Most serve 3 year terms although some have been on the board much longer. A president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary, elected by the board, lead the organization. Board members (often referred to as trustees) and officers receive no compensation. A part-time paid administrator handles business details.
Funds for HPF operations and initiatives come from membership dues, grants, private donations, and fundraisers such as an annual gala, house tours, and raffles. HPF also hosts a number of free events throughout the year.
Support for HPF can be done in different ways including:
- Membership
- Donating
- Sponsorships of special events
- Volunteering.
All major credit cards accepted.
