Virginiaforever

Virginiaforever was established in late 2006 as an independent 501(c)(4) non-profit organization after growing out of a special campaign launched by The Nature Conservancy.  Since that time we have worked diligently to carry out our mission to further the common good and general welfare of the citizens of Virginia by bringing about civic improvement through increased public investment and the commitment of funds to protect and preserve natural resources, with an emphasis on land and water.

We've experienced a number of notable accomplishments since our transition – which includes working with our partners to secure $260 million in revenue bonds for the Water Quality Improvement Fund for point source clean up, nearly $10 million for the Purchase of Development Rights program, Virginia Land Conservation Foundation and the state’s purchase of Brumley Mountain in Southwest, Virginia –- but there is still much to be done.

Our annual Bridge Builder Roast has honored such distinguished public servants as Eva Teig Hardy and former United States Senator John Warner.  To learn more about "Who We Are & What We've Accomplished,"  you can view this short presentation highlighting some of our work.

Virginiaforever will be updating our site with new membership program information over the next couple of weeks. Be sure to check back to learn more about how you as an individual, organization or business can join and support our efforts to protect Virginia’s valuable natural resources.
