The corporate partnership of The Manor Conservancy lasts a full year and is a crucial sustaining contribution that strongly supports our mission. A Corporate Partnership begins at $1000 and is fully tax-deductible. The name of your company or organization will be prominently displayed on our website, and you will be identified in newsletters and at Conservancy events as one of our Corporate Partners.
When you become a partner of The Manor Conservancy, you underscore your business or organization's commitment to the rural community and its environment. You convey to your customers and constituents that responsible conservation is essential.
Sustaining The Manor Conservancy is becoming more costly as the amount of land the Conservancy preserves increases, as the reporting requirements of land trusts become more complex, and as government program funding declines. TMC's constituents, who are committed to land preservation, are aware of these economic challenges and will appreciate your corporate partnership and be encouraged to patronize your business or service.
Thank you for your support of our mission.
