What is a stewardship gift and how is the amount determined?
A stewardship gift is a financial contribution that the GRVLT strongly encourages easement donors to make to help cover the costs of monitoring and enforcing the easement in perpetuity. The GRVLT calculates its stewardship gift requests based on its actual stewardship costs. GRVLT updates these costs annually to accurately reflect its expenses. GRVLT checks these costs against estimates of the amount of time a well-established land trust has spent monitoring over 100 conservation easements over the past 20 years.
