The Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that receives no direct government funding at the federal, state, or local level. Funded exclusively through donations, membership dues, admissions, and merchandise sales, the Association relies heavily on the generosity of supporters from the private and corporate sector to continue its ongoing mission to preserve and protect the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station for future generations and to educate the public about this important National Historic Landmark.
In addition to to ongoing efforts to restore and preserve the historic light station, the Association invests considerable resources on the cleaning, stabilization, and conservation of the museum's artifact collection. A time consuming and costly process, proper artifact conservation requires a unique skill set that few possess. Although the museum strives do as much of this work in-house as possible, historic textiles, photographs, and documents often require the services of outside specialists. You can help the Association fund its ongoing artifact preservation efforts with a donation to the Artifact Conservation Fund. One hundred percent of all tax-deductible donations to the Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association will be used to restore, preserve, and interpret this important National Historic Landmark.
