We provide to conservation organizations to acquire sensitive lands, restore habitat, and protect water quality.
In addition, the Craft3 Conservation Bridge Fund (CBF) provides special short-term, low-interest loans to land trust organizations to advance land conservation goals in Oregon and Clark County, Washington as well as the Washington portion of the Columbia Gorge. The Conservation Bridge Fund is capitalized by a program related investment and grant from Meyer Memorial Trust.
We encourage you to consider the need for financing early in the process and contact us to discuss the option best for your organization. We will do our best to provide you with an approval decision within five weeks of your completed application submission.
To shorten this process, contact our CBF staff to see if you should complete a pre-loan organizational review. Potential applicants should contact Brad Hunter, at 503-688-1715 or cbf@craft3.org for an initial evaluation.
