Alliance Board Votes to Raise Four Million in Capital

At its annual Rally meeting, the Alliance board voted to raise the necessary $4 million in start up capital from foundations and individuals to fund the proposed conservation defense insurance program. Your land trust still has time to join the over 450 land trusts from 47 states committed to the program. See who’s committed in your state.

“It is really exciting to see the land trust community come together on these important issues!” says Jesse Leddick, senior conservation associate of the Pacific Forest Trust (CA).

The three-year timeline for the proposed conservation defense insurance program, if successful and if the Alliance board continues to vote to proceed at each step, may have the proposed program starting in 2013.

If you know of someone that may be willing and able to give to this critical national conservation effort, please contact us.
