We primarily secure land through major state and federal conservation grants. However, these grants are not “free money”. They require matching funds from the community to be released. Every $10 gift to our “Be One in a Million” campaign helps us leverage and “unlock” these larger grant dollars. This allows small individual donations to have a massive impact on multi-million-dollar acquisitions. Every $10 donated unlocks $37.20 and every $100 donated unlocks $372 in conservation grant funds.
