Webinars

Join us for a step-by-step check-up for the systems your land trust needs to make tracking gifts and grants with donor restrictions accurate, consistent, and easy to explain. Designed for executive directors, development directors and fiscal directors/CFOs, this webinar will cover how you can reduce audit costs and save future leaders of your land trust headaches in untangling confusing records and reports on restricted gifts.

Qualified appraisals are the lynchpin of the process that allows landowners to benefit from federal income, estate and state tax incentives flowing from the donation of a conservation easement. A poorly supported, inflated or abusive appraisal, whether fraudulent or merely sloppy, damages the integrity of a conservation easement transaction regardless of the conservation values involved. It also damages the reputation of the land trust involved in the transaction, risks violating the public trust and may reduce support for conservation in general.

It’s no secret that to attract and keep top talent nonprofits need to compete with private and public sector employers.

But how should your land trust approach the process of developing a competitive offering without going broke?
