		The restoration and adaptive rehabilitation of the former Dutch Reformed Church are formidable tasks. The Newburgh Preservation Association works with a number of organizations in order to achieve these goals.
		City of Newburgh The City of Newburgh owns the DRC and its grounds. The Restoration Committee works closely on the restoration effort with the City, which has committed funds for the DRC matching those awarded from other sources. (The City lacks an official website, but information on city government is available at www.newburgh-ny.com ).
		National Park Service As a National Historic Landmark, the DRC falls under the authority of National Park Service, which administers policy on historic landmarks on behalf of the Department of the Interior. (Regional director James Pepper spoke at the dedication.) NPS also administers grants and provides technical assistance. NPS website. (For more on national historic preservation programs, see www.achp.gov/nhpp.html ).
		NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation As a historic property in New York, the DRC also comes under the jurisdiction of the New York State Office Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. (Commissioner Bernadette Castro spoke at the dedication, and preservation officer Bill Krattinger wrote the Landmark application.)
		Hudson River Valley Greenway Newburgh and the DRC also fall within the National Heritage Area administered by the Hudson River Valley Greenway, an organization sponsored by New York State. Greenway was the recipient organization of the Save America's Treasures grant awarded for the DRC.
		Preservation League of New York The Preservation League of New York State, working together with the New York State Council of the Arts, awarded a $15,000 Preserve New York Grant to the Newburgh Preservation Association on Oct 29, 2002 – the largest of several awards in 2002. The PL has also provided assistance organizational strategy to the NPA.
