WHY SPONSOR?
Queen City Preservation works to protect Springfield’s architectural heritage, educate the community, and empower homeowners to restore and reimagine historic spaces for the future. As an entirely donation-funded organization, we rely on community support to keep our programs accessible. Workshop fees cover only a small portion of instructor costs, meaning your contributions directly fund the education, resources, and advocacy efforts that strengthen the city we call home.
