Over the years, the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation has “partnered” with other highly-regarded non-profit organizations to conduct fundraising events. Partnering allows for PSPF to create strategic alliances with non-profits whose missions do not directly overlap ours.

The proceeds of partnering events are divided at a mutually agreed to percentage. To discuss a partnering arrangement with the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation, please contact us at info@pspreservationfoundation.org.

In the past, PSPF has partnered with:

Friends of the Palm Springs Library
Long Beach Heritage
