Land Trust Initiative

Typically, I feature stories where programs have benefited from unrestricted membership funds. This month, I wanted to highlight a gift from The March Conservation Fund (MCF) that expands the Land Trust Initiative’s small grant program to offer three, new $20,000 grants, in addition to our ongoing $5,000 grants.

These larger grants will fund projects that actively manage, restore, and/or steward land in a way that enhances habitat and promotes bird conservation, with special emphasis on priority species or those identified in State Wildlife Action Plans. These grants are also intended to build capacity within the land trust community and, as appropriate, help support and facilitate mutually beneficial collaborations with the bird conservation community.

The 2019 Request for Proposals will be announced in mid-January on our website.
