WHY BECOME A CVBT GENERAL?
The Central Virginia Battlefields Trust is blessed to have partners like you who have decided to join our ranks and support our mission of saving the Civil War Battlefields of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Mine Run, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Courthouse here in the ever-expanding sprawl of Central Virginia. As you are aware, there is no shortage of important battlefield land at risk.
We, of course, always have the daily expenses of running the business. We are a 501c3 but still have need to cover our modest rent, and daily office and employee salaries. CVBT has always run on a shoestring and that has not changed. We have two full-time employees and everyone else is a volunteer. Yet our impact on battlefield preservation is vast and on par with much larger organizations of our type.
We have created a special designation for those, like you, who go beyond answering land appeals and membership dues and choose to invest in the organization further.
This is an INVESTMENT in an organization that has proven for three decades that big successes can come from a relatively moderately sized group of dedicated individuals and partners
