Learning new skills and thus expanding your knowledge of nonprofits organizations, fundraising, grant research, land easement, event planning and more.
Land Management
-
GCN needs certified Ecologists and Geologist who can perform the land easement audits.
-
The land manager will perform an audit of the land easement by using the rules and guidelines in the easement to gauge whether the land is actually being used as dictated in the easement.
-
The land manager will subsequently build a report documenting any discrepancies in how the land is being treated and laying out how the property owner can take steps to get their land back on track.
Easement Donors Donating Cash
-
Plan: Include in the easement donation process a request that donors provide funds to pay for the first 10-20 years of land inspections for the property easement they are donating.
-
Strategy: Donors donating the actual property will be less likely to donate cash; however, donors donating the easement (not the actual real estate) are good candidates for soliciting funds to insure the land is inspected according to the easement agreement.
