Description

The Urban Conservation and Community program works with community partners in historically underserved urban areas nationally to advance their conservation priorities. We believe that communities thrive when they have durable and lasting site control of lands that provide a public benefit.


To advance this project, the Urban Conservation & Communities intern will conduct assessments of conservation acquisition projects under several models of funding at The Conservation Fund by documenting funding methodologies, conducting interviews with community partners and TCF employees, and analyzing city and regional landscapes to inform where and how future efforts may be most impactful.

This process will highlight the core ingredients that contribute to the success of each of these methodologies, as well as the distinctions between them that impact their adaptability to other contexts.
  • Exploration of New Urban Conservation Models: Develop a framework of urban conservation models to identify how private and philanthropic resources can be leveraged to cover costs that are traditionally assumed by state or municipal partners.
  • City and Regional Analysis: Complete an analysis to inform where and how future efforts may be most impactful. Evaluate factors such as the presence of existing TCF projects, availability of TCF acquisition staff support, and likelihood of identifying a viable takeout partner.
  • Community Needs Assessment: Conduct interviews with community partners to better understand what forms of support would be most valuable to them.
