A complete application for renewal must be submitted prior to your organization’s accreditation expiration date; once it has registered and provided all subsequent deadlines are met, your land trust will retain its accredited status until there is a final decision on your application.
Failure to register for an application round prior to the expiration of your land trust’s accredited status or to submit the pre-application or application on the required due dates will result in your organization being unable to apply for accreditation before the end of your accredited term. Your organization’s license agreement to use the accreditation seal will expire and your organization’s name will no longer appear on the list of accredited land trusts. At that time, to be reconsidered for accreditation your organization will need to follow the process and submit the application used by first-time applicants and pay all fees applicable to first-time applicants. See the Commission’s policy on Deadlines and Exceptions for Catastrophes for more information about failure to meet deadlines.
