The Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation (PHF) is the non-profit 501(c)(3) partner of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC).  PHMC is the state’s official history agency, who collects, preserves, researches, and interprets Pennsylvania's historic heritage. Through private contributions, PHF continues to partner with PHMC to protect and provide access to 23 historic sites and museums, approximately 5 million objects, and 237 million archival items.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board and through charitable funding, memberships to the PHMC Trails of History sites, grant management, restricted funds management and community engagement, they help PHMC preserve the Commonwealth's rich heritage for this generation and for generations to come.
