Make a Capital Gift to Special Funds
You can support a specific area of interest by making a capital gift to any of the special funds described below. Each area of need is mission-critical essential to preserving local open space.
“Audrey’s Way” Fund
After nearly 25 years serving as president of POST, Audrey C. Rust is retiring. This fund honors her unwavering commitment to saving land by expediting the opening up of Mindego Hill and surrounding landscapes within the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. Please join us in commemorating Audrey’s exemplary leadership. Click here for more information.
Land Fund
POST must have the resources at hand to act when opportunities arise to protect land. You can help by giving to the Land Fund, our core working capital for saving lands that are at risk and critical to our region's health and natural vitality.
Conservation Easement Initiative
We protect some lands through conservation easements, a powerful and cost-effective tool that allows preserved land to remain in private hands. Your support of the Conservation Easement initiative helps POST monitor and legally defend, if necessary, these lasting agreements.
Stewardship Action Ventures Endowment (SAVE)
Taking care of the land we have protected requires a steady source of income devoted to developing innovative stewardship strategies. Your gift to SAVE will help assure that the values for which land was originally protected are maintained into the future.
Wavecrest Fund
Help POST protect this signature coastal landscape, an important link in the California Coastal Trail and prime winter habitat for raptors along the San Mateo Coast. You can learn more about Wavecrest here.
To discuss your interest in any of these funds, please call Anne Trela, Vice President for Advancement at (650) 854-7696 X337 or atrela at openspacetrust.org.
