Day to Day Operations

We need to assure that we are able to maintain ongoing operations.  While we are volunteer run, we also require the service of contractors and experts in law and tax, in additional to the other expenses that are ongoing.  All of this helps us meet our annual Stewardship obligations and comply with the many burdens that government requires of us to maintain nonprofit status.

Endowment

The potential added expense of defending FCALT property and our owned easements from encroachments. We have great relationships with our neighbors and owners with whom we share easement rights, however there is always the potential for situations where we must defend FCALT property.  Your contributions help to provide a secure defense and build a robust endowment.

Future Acquisitions

FCALT has received numerous outright gift-donations of property. There are additional opportunities for us work with donors who are willing to offer a property or easement at a substantial market discount where the property or rights cannot be parted with without partial compensation.  With a robust acquisition fund, your contributions can help convince a donor to gift those rights with the FCALT sharing in the cost with the donor.
