Our work is funded by donations from individuals, as well as foundation and government grants which multiply the impact of individual gifts.  In 2006 we received support from 400 members, whose donations were matched $21 to $1 by foundation and government grants. 

In November 2006 we created a Conservation Circle made up of donors who contribute $1,000 or more annually.  You can read about the Conservation Circle in the “Join the Land Trust” section of this website and in our newsletters.

Major institutional support for our work comes from the following foundations and agencies:

• The California Farmland Conservancy Program
• The David and Lucille Packard Foundation
• The Westcliff Foundation
• The Federal Farm and Ranchland Protection Program
• The Hurlbut Foundation
• The Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County
• The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
