RCP members seek to increase funding for their conservation activities (e.g., land protection) in one or more ways that include:
- Collaborating on grants to close on individual member projects in a planned, staggered manner (decreasing competition)
- Collaborating on private, state, and federal grants
- Linking RCP-endorsement and funding to accelerate conservation of lands of highest importance to the RCP
- Facilitating multi-landowner, multi-partner land protection projects
- Developing accounts that direct funding to cover transaction costs, project mgmt. time, and some % of the acquistion costs for projects that help achieve RCP priorities.
