There are many California non-profit 501(c)3 corporations and we are frequently asked what makes the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation different from similar organizations. We enthusiastically point out that:

On the last point, it is our view that consistently taking adversarial positions with the city can have a long-term negative impact on our effectiveness. Dozens of individuals at all levels of city government are sympathetic to our goals because they recognize both the cultural and economic advantages of preservation. This collaborative attitude allows us to take on important issues that require extended interaction with the city.

We have tried to fill this website with quality content (including our online Class 1: A Guide to the Designated Class 1 Historic Sites of Palm Springs booklet). We hope it becomes a resource you will return to again and again whether you are a resident of the city or a first-time visitor.
