The organization's primary focus is to encourage lawmakers on the federal, state and local levels to allocate public funds for battlefield preservation. In addition, afbp supports local officials for public office in a very limited number of targeted communities, plus trains local people about how to successfully conduct community grassroots organizing, fundraising, and effective use of media.
