Services

If you are involved in a campaign to win public financing for land or water conservation, the Conservation Campaign (TCC) can help. Our services extend from the initial research through get-out-the-vote phone banks on election day. We can help with virtually every aspect of a campaign, including polling, strategy, campaign management, fundraising, hiring consultants, building coalitions, public relations, radio and television ads, direct mail, and internet communications.

Because our staff are located throughout the country and have experience in virtually every type of community, TCC can move quickly to provide support in your state or locality. Effective campaigns typically require twelve to eighteen months to plan and execute, but in some cases, we have mounted winning campaigns in as little as 12 weeks.

Specific services available from TCC include:

Feasibility research to assess park and conservation priorities, explore finance options, evaluate legal issues, research election history, and define best practices.
Public opinion surveys to determine the potential level of support for public financing of parks and open space, including identification of the key issues of concern to voters, design of a questionnaire, selection of a pollster, design of the sample, and analysis of results.
Ballot measure design to meet legal requirements, to reflect public priorities, and attract political support.
Fundraising assistance, including direct support from the Conservation Campaign, as well as identification of potential donors and outreach to them.
Building a broad coalition, including business and political leaders, community groups, farmers and ranchers, conservation organizations, and others.
Organizing a winning campaign - including strategy, budgeting, staffing, communications, and get-out-the-vote outreach.

The Conservation Campaign is dedicated to a single goal: winning campaigns that will provide funding to preserve America's best-loved lands and waters.
