Gifts made to the Endowment Fund have a lasting impact. All memorial and honorarium gifts are directed toward our Endowment Fund. To that end, your gift helps to put a layer of stability under the Conservancy, and ensure its strong and lasting future. Interest income from our Endowment Fund is used for ongoing Conservancy expenses such as operating costs, land protection and stewardship.

A healthy Endowment fund will help us to meet the ongoing responsibilities that we commit to when we acquire land or sign a conservation easement with a private landowner. The job that comes once land is protected is ongoing, with our duty to restore, protect and maintain lands for the enjoyment of future generations.

Please consider making your endowment contribution to the Conservancy today. What better way to help permanently protect the beauty of our little corner of the world, and making a lasting contribution to the Leelanau Conservancy.
