Program
Virginia's united land trust (vault) regularly convenes land conservation professionals and volunteers. Our work focuses on policy workgroups, the impact of emerging and contemporary topics, and skills and knowledge development. We work closely with our 26 land trust member organizations and the seven state and federal easement holding agencies. During the 2023-2024 fiscal year, vault sponsored the virginia land conservation & greenways conference with more than 200 participants representing more than 100 organizations and agencies in attendance. The conference is the primary annual gathering of the virginia land conservation community with close to 20 educational and best practices sessions. In recognition of the critical importance of accelerating land conservation in virginia, virginia outdoors foundation (vof) and vault launched a capacity build grant for the nonprofit land trust community, specifically for vault members. The grant is funded by vof and administered by vault.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2021 to 2022, from $195k to $361k (+85%).
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: 2022 69% · 2023 68% · 2024 60% · 2025 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
