Many friends of the Land Trust are enjoying an easy way to advance conservation in the Finger Lakes: Automatic Monthly Giving. Simply select the “Monthly” option on our web donation form.
Suppose you gave $100 last year. This year, if you sign up for $10/month, you might not feel the difference, but your annual total will be $120. That’s a 20% increase in land protection power!
How It Works
When you sign up for the monthly option, your card will be charged automatically once a month. You will receive a monthly email receipt and a yearly tax statement. We’ll notify you if your card needs to be updated. And you can always call, email, or visit with questions.
Why It Helps
Your MONTHLY investment makes a PERMANENT impact here in the Finger Lakes region. Your steady support helps us work year-round to protect land and water forever. Every season presents opportunities to secure forests, farms, shorelines, and wetlands.
You can give at a comfortable level. Suppose you gave $100 last year. This year, if you sign up for $10/month, you might not feel the difference, but your annual total will be $120. That’s a 20% increase in land protection power! The pace of conservation accelerates!
It’s easy, automatic, and convenient! There are no paper forms to send back and forth. Your connection to the Land Trust will stay current; your membership won’t lapse. You’ll be advancing conservation every month. Your steady support will help us plan.

Opportunities in Every Season
The great majority of individual gifts arrive during the last 2 months of each year—the traditional season of giving and tax planning. We are inspired by every gift.
But conservation opportunities arise in every season. Our Stewardship team works through the year to manage over 35 public nature preserves and over 120 private easements. Our Protection team continually seeks emerging opportunities to conserve land and water.
Your monthly gifts can accelerate the pace of land and water protection. You have already helped us conserve over 17,500 acres—and 100% of your gifts pay for our continuing work right here in the Finger Lakes region.
