Building Enduring Land Trusts – A Grant Program to Encourage & Support Mergers
The Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation (PCLB) is pleased to announce its Building Enduring Land Trusts initiative, to encourage and support the merger of land trusts in Connecticut to build more enduring, active organizations. Grant funds are available to cover the actual cost of a merger – and, on a multi-year basis, for the general operating costs of the merged organization.
Accredited land trusts say that there is no perfect time to apply for accreditation – you just do it! However, there are key requirements a land trust must meet before it registers, and others it must plan to meet by time of pre-application and application. This checklist will help your land trust determine if it is eligible and ready to apply for accreditation.
CLCC annually contributes testimony and comments related to land conservation laws, policies, programs, and funding, as well as other priorities central to the health and wellbeing of Connecticut’s communities, environment, economy, and quality of life.
