As the responsible entity for agricultural management, marketing, conservation stewardship, community design review, educational and related activities, the Conservancy will require sufficient start-up and long-term funding. The Conservancy will be financially supported by a combination of sources, including but not limited to, donations, charitable grants, and an endowment funded by a portion of the sale price for each lot (transfer tax) within the Middle Green Valley plan area. The Conservancy will use this endowment fund as the ongoing primary funding mechanism for the management of the Conservancy and its operations.
