Methods of Support
There are many ways to support Belwin and although each is different, they all help us to sustain our mission and to further our goals. Please take some time to learn about them and consider supporting Belwin today to join in this important work.
Membership
Members are the stewards of the Belwin Conservancy. The ongoing financial commitment that our members provide sustains the Belwin Conservancy throughout the year. Membership dollars are used for everything from direct land conservation and program development to essential equipment maintenance and staff salaries. The Belwin Conservancy simply could not operate without this sort of unrestricted funding.
To thank our members for their commitment to the Belwin Conservancy, we hold a series of events specifically for them throughout the year. Once a year our members are also invited to the Annual Meeting so that we can discuss our plans directly with them. In addition, Belwin Conservancy members who give $100 or more (Supporting, Sustaining and Benefactor members) are offered several more opportunities to visit the Belwin Conservancy throught the year.

Donations
The Belwin Conservancy occasionally solicits additional donations that unlike membership dollars, go towards a specific project. These capital contributions are critical to the success of these initiatives such as the Metcalf acquisition in 2008. The donations that we received directly allowed us to buy this critical piece of property.
Additional donations do not go towards annual membership contributions. They can be made at and time on our website. Donate Now!
Corporate Sponsorship
The Twin Cities are blessed with many of the nation’s most generous and compassionate corporate citizens. This region in particular has been the birthplace and inspiration for some of Minnesota’s most successful companies. Belwin is pleased to have the support of some of these organizations.
If your organization is interested in sponsoring Belwin, please contact us.
Planned Giving
Planned giving provides for the health of this organization and the well-being of the community well into the future. The exact method of planned support is infinitely variable so Belwin Conservancy staff work directly with donors to take their individual needs into account while proving important tax benefits now and in the future. For information on planned giving, please contact our executive director, Steve Hobbs.
Land
The Belwin Conservancy's primary mission is the conservation of land for future generations. A gift of land is perhaps the most direct way of supporting this organization. Because of our status as a nonprofit, gifts of land can have significant tax benefits. For information on donating land to the Belwin Conservancy, please contact our executive director, Steve Hobbs.
