It takes each and every one of us to make a lasting change

To make ideas come to life, to solve big community challenges, to save big landscapes it takes all of us. We are grateful for all the individuals, organizations, corporations, foundations and businesses that make this important work happen day in and day out.

Partner Sponsors

We’re lucky to have support from a number of local and regional businesses and individuals who understand that giving back helps us all.

There is a direct link between our glorious open landscapes, precious scenic views and access to community trails, and employee or personal happiness. Many businesses and individuals see and feel the impact of their donation to Kaniksu Land Trust on a daily basis.

Our supporters understand that trails close enough for a run at the lunch hour, or the preservation of scenic views for the enjoyment for all, impact each and every one of us.

We are grateful to have you as partner sponsors and get so excited when we think of all the work we will do together now, and into the future. Thank you for helping make this region a gem-of-a-place to live.

WANT TO JOIN THE PARTNER SPONSOR PROGRAM?

We are so grateful for our partner sponsors commitment to our community and to Kaniksu Land Trust. Sponsorships have allowed us to grow our organization and strengthen our conservation efforts, educational programs and recreational opportunities for all.

With many sponsorship options, the Partner Sponsorship program offers levels for organizations, families, and individuals to participate. Each level includes valuable sponsor recognition and participation benefits.

This year, Kaniksu Land Trust organized three signature events that allow for sponsor participation and recognition. What do these event proceeds support? Your support makes possible the conservation of important private lands and public access properties, the offering of innovative educational programs that build health and resilience, and the development of recreational opportunities that are accessible to all members of our community and will help support a vital local economy.

Community Partners

Kaniksu Land Trust collaborates closely with a diverse array of partners, including local communities, government agencies, and other non-profit organizations, to advance our conservation, education and community objectives. Through these partnerships, we leverage a broad spectrum of expertise, resources, and support to effectively care for the lands and people of Boundary and Bonner Counties in Idaho, and Sanders County in northwest Montana. This cooperative approach enables us to undertake larger, more impactful projects and we also know it’s just more fun to do this work together.
