Revenue Sources

The Marion Soil & Water Conservation District generates revenue through donations, fundraising, grants, and FDACS administrative fees, when applicable. Additional income may include interest earned on the District’s financial accounts. The District also sells plat books, soil survey CDs, and Farm of Environmental District signs; however, these items operate at a loss, as production costs exceed net sales revenue.
