Historic Charleston Foundation is an advocacy organization advancing the mission of historic preservation. As historic preservation has evolved into more than a movement to simply save historic buildings, the Foundation has broadened its scope into balancing the needs of modern society with protecting the sensitive fabric of the historic district.
Communities must be vibrant to survive. With vibrancy comes inevitable growth and development. Our mission is to address modern society's needs - mobility and transportation, tourism, livability and growth - while protecting and preserving the architecture and material culture of Charleston and its Lowcountry environs.

The past is everywhere you look in Charleston - triumphs and tragedies, beauty and brutality, infused in art and architecture, etched in stone, held in memory. We believe that every memory, every place, every story woven together is who we are. So, as a people and culture, we exist not apart from brick and mortar, marsh and mud, cobblestone and wrought iron, but together with - and within them. As a city, we're in a seminal period - one with the potential to broaden opportunity - or widen inequality.

Great cities are tapestries - their history, character, and uniqueness are the fabric from which they're woven. Charleston's buildings and waterfront setting create a deep sense of place. Their beauty and scale inspire and connect us to our past while helping shape our future. We believe preservation ensures that Charleston maintains a balance between its role as one of America's most important architectural resources - and as a real, vibrant city with a great quality of life for its residents.Charleston's economic success depends upon the stewardship of both its historic downtown and rural landscapes.
