YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK
Hi again everyone:
FAQ: What's the Money For?
So, in case you
haven't noticed, this has become a weekly "thing." I'm going to keep it
up until September 5 (our anniversary) and maybe beyond.
Some of you have asked, quite appropriately, what are you doing with the money donated to LCAT, how does it help "protect and preserve land"? I'll give you a brief answer below the fold.
Seed Funding
The truth of the matter is this: We are a startup. Just like any startup (for-profit or non-profit) WE NEED SEED FUNDING. For now, that's what the money is for. We need money so we can build the capacity to get more money. We need to hire fundraisers, grant-writers administrative staff, get office space, get computers and computer software. We need to market and solicit money and raise awareness.
All this has to happen before we can save our first patch of woods. As
the old adage goes, you need money to make money. We are no different.
Some of our immediate funding needs are described in more detail on our website: CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.
Ultimately, the money raised will be spent on EMERGENCY FUNDING, LEGAL DEFENSE and ADVOCACY: CLICK HERE FOR THOSE DETAILS
Thanks for your consideration.
Steve Meltzer.

Our Mission
In case you missed the last two emails, here is the summary of our mission:
To
conserve and preserve open spaces and natural resources so that
everyone may enjoy them, now and forever.
Swift action is the
cornerstone of implementing our mission.
When
opportunities for land conservation arise, financial and legal
resources are often needed on very short notice. Local land trusts and
stewards often miss out on important preservation opportunities because
they lack immediate access to money or legal assistance, and national
land trust organizations are not always able to react quickly.
The
LCA Trust can respond with emergency funding and legal assistance in
these situations—often making resources available within 24 hours.
