Corporate Partnerships

Business owners and their employees love living and working in the Inland Northwest for a bunch of great reasons – among them are access to thriving natural lands, beautiful waterways, abundant scenery, and uncrowded trails. At INLC we love those things, too, and we work tirelessly to conserve and care for land so that future generations of residents can participate in a thriving economy set in a healthy environment. Our corporate partners invest in INLC as a way of protecting this future as part of a much larger conservation community here in the INW.

Why be a corporate partner with the Conservancy?

It's a win-win!

Our values, love of nature, perpetuity, discernment, and collaboration resonate with your company values. This is a chance to make an investment and an impact that is bigger than what you could have alone. 

Engagement with the Conservancy contributes to culture and team building and encourages deeper connections with the community and your company’s values. It gives members of your team a chance to feel like an important part of a larger whole.

The protection of local outdoor places will keep the Inland Northwest high on the list of livable communities, appealing to potential customers, employees, and more businesses who come to call this place home and add to an already growing and vibrant economy.
