What Peconic Land Trust Inc does
Mission
Peconic land trust conserves long island's working farms, natural lands and heritage for our communities now and in the future.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Stewardship manages land, monitors and enforces conservation restrictions on protected properties, and provides land management services for landowners. Our farms for the future initiative promotes regional agriculture and local food production including a new farmer incubator program. Stewardship centers also include shellfisher preserve, an aquaculture facility that provides clams, scallops and oysters for local bays. The trust annually stewards approximately 4,150 acres of fields, wetlands, woodland and farms. Most preserves provide public access, including miles of walking trails.
$1,608,773 spent$55,357 earned by the program28% of program spendingConservation programs assist farmers and landowners in the identification and implementation of alternatives to outright development through conservation planning. The protection of working farms, natural habitats and ecosystems, historical structures and landscapes, wetlands, and watersheds provides communities with fresh local produce, safe drinking water, cleaner bays, scenic beauty, stronger local economy, and so much more. Projects include acquisitions of land and conservation easements. Important note: while the value of total assets on page 1, part I, line 20 is substantial, this number primarily reflects the donated value of conservation easements since 1983 that are booked as permanently restricted net assets and are not available for the trust's operating expenses.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $379M to $410M (+8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 5% · 2018 15% · 2019 6% · 2020 10% · 2021 1% · 2022 0% · 2023 22% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of PECONIC LAND TRUST INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 54 funders to 98 funders, grant income rose $1.1M → $1.9M.
22 of 230 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of PECONIC LAND TRUST INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 230 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
PECONIC LAND TRUST INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
43% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PECONIC LAND TRUST INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 38% · 2019 54% · 2020 79% · 2021 74% · 2022 66% · 2023 15% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
49% of PECONIC LAND TRUST INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
PECONIC LAND TRUST INC draws 56% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 22 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
