With the reduction in federal funding and the resulting increase in competition for private grant funding and donor support, having diverse revenue streams has never been more important. Entrepreneurial approaches to revenue may also deepen land trusts’ relationships with their communities and bring the conservation message to new audiences. Ole Amundsen, an experienced professional in fundraising, finance and strategic planning, will examine case studies from land trusts of varying capacity and staffing from across the country that use an entrepreneurial approach to generate revenue. Organizations that attend this call will be offered a free one-hour consultation brainstorming session on entrepreneurial approaches, earned revenue opportunities and underutilized structures.
