Conservation Finance
We help state and local governments design, pass, and implement legislation and ballot measures that create new public funds for parks, land conservation and protecting communities from climate change.
We’ve helped pass 681 ballot measures—an 84 percent success rate—protecting more than 4 million acres and securing over $110 billion in voter-approved funding for parks, land conservation, and climate change mitigation. Every $1 invested in this program has generated more than $2,000 in new public funds.
