Gifts to Stewardship Funds

Stewardship Funds have been created to ensure that the GBLT can continue to accept donations of land and that each property owned and managed  by the Georgian Bay Land Trust (GBLT) has adequate money available on an annual basis to ensure that stewardship needs are always met.

Our General Stewardship fund is dedicated to protecting all GBLT properties while each of the specified funds below focuses on particular areas and communities.

These funds are intended to generate enough interest or gain to support stewardship costs for properties owned or managed by the GBLT. Long-term growth of the capital is an objective, allowing the funds to continue to grow with and without new donations.

In addition each fund supports educating our communities about non-impactive use of land.

These funds are endowed, the capital is protected with earnings from investment used to cover annual expenses. The goals for stewardship funds are created based on an estimated average annual expense for the relevant properties covered by the fund and under the expectation of 3.5% annual earnings generated from the capital.
