Description
The Land Use Conservation and Planning Endowment supports programs and projects focused on land use planning or land use stewardship activities. Administered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation through its Fall Grants program, the endowment provides a dedicated funding opportunity for organizations serving the region whose work aligns with these two areas.
The Foundation also seeks to understand the outcomes of the programs and projects it supports. Grant partners are invited to complete a final report within a year of receiving an award. These reports help the Foundation learn about funded work and share its successes with supporters, community partners, and the public.
