1. Introduction

The Land Trust Alliance, Conservation Finance Network, and The Conservation Fund want your input so that we can help you meet your conservation goals.

With this survey, we hope to better understand the information and financial resources that land trusts and other conservation groups need in order to borrow money confidently and effectively. By participating, you play an important part in improving our services nationwide. The survey is just 20 questions, and you can estimate financial figures where necessary.

We'll share the survey's top-line results in a future issue of the Alliance's e-newsletter and at Rally 2013.

We'll also randomly select one survey participant to receive a $500 scholarship to Rally 2013!

If you'd like the chance to win this prize, please be sure to include your name, organization, and contact information in the survey. We welcome anyone to include this information, as it helps better understand the land trust environment, but you can also complete the survey anonymously.

Thank you!
