Managed by a voluntary Board of Directors who are elected by the members at an annual meeting, it is financed by membership fees, investments, profits from property sales, tax-deductible bequests, and financial contributions.

The FHF has acquired and restored a number of historic properties over the past thirty years; it presently owns two early commercial buildings in downtown Kingston through the generous bequest of the Hall Family, which it is renting and restoring .

Under the direction of the Board of Directors the Foundation supports and promotes the conservation and awareness of the area's built heritage. Current Board of Directors.
