To ensure that TC’s Funding Program targets the real needs of restoration practitioners, we conducted a survey in 2014. The survey collected valuable firsthand information about the components of restoration work that are the most difficult to fund and is being used to communicate with funders of restoration to help them better understand where there is a need for more restoration funding.
The survey results indicate that:
- The majority of survey respondents (36.11%) agreed that Monitoring is the top most difficult restoration work component to fund.
- The majority of survey respondents (41.67%) agreed that Planning and Project Management is the second most difficult restoration work component to fund.
- The majority of respondents (56.25%) of survey respondents agreed that Watershed-wide Monitoring was the most difficult type of monitoring to fund.
- The majority of survey respondents (58.62%) agreed that of the Planning and Project Management activities, fundraising was the most difficult to fund.
