Hometowns Need Homes
Preserving the Vibrant Community of Bolinas and Stinson Beach
$1.4M goal · 75% raised · Gifts matched up to $100,000 through December 31
Our community is an ecosystem
Bolinas and Stinson Beach are surrounded by the lagoon, the ridges, and protected parklands — an ecosystem that thrives because of its diversity. Farmers and artists, teachers and first responders, young families and elders, renters and second-home owners each have an essential part in keeping our community resilient. For more than 40 years, the Bolinas Community Land Trust has worked to nurture that whole ecosystem.
Today, 7% of Bolinas and Stinson Beach, more than 115 people, live in a BCLT home.
Together, this year, we have accomplished a lot. Your support is necessary, and we will double your gift
We need to raise $1.4M by December 31 to keep our projects, properties, and programs on track, and we're 75% of the way there. Every gift received by December 31 will be matched one-to-one, up to $100,000.
Whether it's $50, $500, or $5,000, when you donate to BCLT, you're helping keep our community diverse, resilient, and thriving.

Latest News from the Bolinas Community Land Trust
It’s more than a moment. It’s a movement.
As a member of the California Community Land Trust Network, BCLT is part of a collective spanning the state from Humboldt to San Diego County, stewarding over 1,700 permanently affordable homes and housing more than 3,500 Californians.
CACLT Network members actively combat the displacement of BIPOC and low-income families by keeping over $220 million in community assets off the speculative market and under community control. With 27 established groups across the state and many more emerging, Community Land Trusts are a growing force at a time when rising housing costs are pushing our neighbors out of their homes.
