A Non-Profit Organization

Ponce De Leon Lighthouse Preservation Association, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the maritime and social history of the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station.

A Fiscally Independent Preservation Association
Founded by local residents concerned for the well-being of the historic Light Station, the Preservation Association has managed and operated the Lighthouse since its acquisition by the Town from the Department of the Interior in 1972. The Association finances its ongoing mission to preserve, restore, and interpret the historic Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station through admission and gift shop sales, memberships, and private donations. The Association is self-sufficient and receives no direct financial support from either the Town of Ponce Inlet or the federal government to maintain, operate, or preserve the site. Limited state funding is sought when available.

Fiscal Year 2013 - 2014 Annual Report
The Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association strives to accomplish its mission to preserve and disseminate the maritime and social history of the Light Station in a manner keeping with the highest expectations of its members, supporters, and community. The Association produces an Annual Report at the end of each fiscal year outlining its numerous activities, accomplishments, and ongoing operations.


 

Volunteers and Memberships
Much of the work completed at the Lighthouse has been accomplished with volunteer assistance. Annual memberships in the Association are available for a nominal fee. Revenue generated through the sale of memberships is applied towards the Association's ongoing mission to preserve and disseminate the maritime and social history of the Ponce Inlet Light Station. Associate Memberships are available at a variety of levels to the public.
