Where does the GRVLT get its funding?
Money to establish the GRVLT came from individuals committed to the conservation of Sublette County’s open spaces and ranching heritage. The GRVLT plans to continue to receive the majority of its funding from private sources. Private individuals make up by far the greatest proportion of contributions to non-profits (75%). Similarly, a strong private funding base allows maximum autonomy for the GRVLT to pursue its mission. In addition, in the future, the GRVLT will rely more heavily on foundations, particularly for project expenses, including the purchase of conservation easements. We also apply for other grants when appropriate.
