Direct Your Dollars

Donations for Special Funds
In addition to membership contributions, the Land Conservancy is seeking contributions for several "Special" funds. These are restricted accounts for specific projects and are used to generate "matching" contributions from other sources, making local dollars go as far as possible.

General Fund - Provides funding where we need it most to support our conservation mission.

 Land Stewardship Fund - Gives us the ability to permanently protect and conserve our land legacy through restoration, maintenance and legal defense.

Land Protection Fund - Supports direct acquisition costs including appraisals, environmental studies, land value, closing costs, and associated staffing.

Octagon Barn Fund - Contributes to the restoration of San Luis Obispo's 100 year old Octagon Barn - a true architectural wonder.
