Partnerships and Special Programs

As a small agency with limited funds, the Kentucky Heritage Council has actively worked to form partnerships with other agencies and non-profit organizations to achieve its mission and goals.  Some of the more visible and successful partnerships include the Preserve America initiative, working in conjunction with Preservation Kentucky and Kentucky Main Street Program communities; the presentation of annual preservation awards in conjunction with the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Foundation, this year celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Foundation Preservation Awards; and the Rural Heritage Development Initiative, a partnership between the Heritage Council, Preservation Kentucky and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
