Director's Circle
At Burton Homestead just a few miles north of Nevada City, nestled
into a woodland meadow along a historic pond is a seated gathering
place that encourages the exchange of ideas and a reverence for
nature. Burton Homestead was the 43 acre home of longtime resident
Francis Burton, who left the land to Nevada County Land Trust for
education and community in nature. Your generous donation will help
realize this wish. Each year, major donors meet at this site
to celebrate what we have and what we hope to achieve together.
The Director's Circle recognizes donors of
$1,000 or more during a single year to support the ongoing mission
of Nevada County Land Trust and those have a leadership role in
protecting our unique community for future generations.
Circle donors receive special benefits, recognition,
and thanks including:
- Invitations to special "Treks
through Time" for major donors
- Opportunities to visit lands placed in
conservation easements
- Acknowledgement on the Nevada County Land
Trust website www.NevadaCountyLandTrust.org
- Annual subscription to Land News
- Invitations to special events and VIP receptions
including Stars at the Ridgetop benefit concert
- Knowing your gift saves the extraordinary
landscapes that contribute to our quality of life, and that of
future generations

"Ten
Thousand Acres" Nevada County lands endowment
Escalating
land values can make the sale of land for sub-division development
a tempting alternative. This is especially true for local
farms and rangeland. Driving north on Highway 49 from Auburn,
you can see for yourself how homes are filling the landscape. Nevada
County Land Trust's ability to offer a conservation alternative
to the sale or development of land is crucial to the future of
our community.
So far, NCLT has helped place more than 6,000
acres of private land into conservation easements. A window of opportunity
now exists to protect 4,000 more acres from development forever.
Such an ambitious campaign will require the support of the entire
Nevada County community.
We urgently need your help. Time is running
out.
Contributions to the "Ten Thousand Acres"”
Nevada County Lands Endowment are applied directly to the cost of
moving land into conservation easements. These contributions enable
NCLT to:
- Purchase conservation easements on the
most threatened properties
- Set up stewardship funds to care for lands
in easements in perpetuity
- Match state, federal, and other sources
of public conservation funding
- Help preserve Nevada County's 150-year
old heritage of family farming
For further information, contact Marty Coleman-Hunt

Commemorative
gifts
Your memorial and
honorary gifts to NCLT commemorate the importance of significant
people in your life.
Your gift creates a lasting tribute to friends
and loved ones by helping to protect the beauty, character and diversity
of Western Nevada County now and for future generations.
NCLT will promptly acknowledge your gift with
a card to the person or family you ask us to notify, and will be
noted in our quarterly publication, Land News. The amount
of your gift will be confidential.
If you would like to make a memorial or honorary
gift, please contact Marty Coleman-Hunt at (530) 272-5994 or
marty@nevadacountylandtrust.org.
Workplace
giving
Many employers give
their employees the option to donate to charities directly from
their paycheck, and many employers match the employee's donation
amount. Ask your employer if you can donate to Nevada County Land
Trust through a workplace giving program.
For help setting up a Workplace Giving program,
contact Marty Coleman-Hunt at (530) 272-5994 or marty@nevadacountylandtrust.org.

Business Support
Among its many goals, Nevada County
Land Trust is deeply committed to preserving the agricultural
and open space lands so critical to the health of our economy.

County for future generations by providing support through annual
donations, in-kind goods and services, and event sponsorships.

Non-cash
donations: Stocks and real property
Nevada County Land Trust
gladly accepts donations such as stocks, mutual fund shares, real
property, equipment, etc. As a rule, NCLT sells non-cash donations
immediately upon receipt, and the proceeds are used for general
operating support. Donated real property (land) may be retained
by NCLT if it has high conservation values; otherwise it is sold
to generate funds for other land preservation.
A gift of securities is fully tax-deductible
at its market value at the time of your contribution. To make a
gift of stock to the NCLT contact your financial services provider
(including online providers) who can make a direct electronic transfer
of your stock certificates to the account of Nevada County Land
Trust.
As a community-based nonprofit, we're committed
to operating as efficiently as possible and making the best use
of all contributions. Please contact Marty Coleman-Hunt at marty@nevadacountylandtrust.org
