Fee Sponsorship Application for Natural Area Protection Tax 
Exemption Program (NAPTEP) Application Fee 
 
Under Islands Trust Policy 2.1.16, Trust Council Executive Committee may sponsor Natural Area Protection Tax Exemption 
Program (NAPTEP) application fees. To apply for fee sponsorship, submit this form to the Islands Trust Conservancy with or 
after your NAPTEP application. There is a limited budget set aside annually to sponsor application fees and Executive 
Committee may choose to sponsor all, none, or part of an applicant’s NAPTEP application fees. 
 
To be eligible for Executive Committee Sponsorship: 
✓ The applicant is a non-profit agency or organization seeking to apply to NAPTEP for the benefit of the community at 
large and consistent with goals in the ITC Regional Conservation Plan (RCP) as determined by the ITC Manager.  
✓ The applicant submits a voluntary proposal and seeks to protect over eight hectares of land or seeks to protect land 
that has significant habitat for endangered or threatened species under the federal Species at Risk Act and where 
the conservation proposal is consistent with goals in the ITC Regional Conservation Plan (RCP) as determined by 
the ITC Manager. 
✓ The applicant submits a voluntary proposal and seeks to protect important Indigenous cultural sites such as 
archaeological sites or other culturally significant places. 
✓ The applicant submits a voluntary proposal and seeks to protect areas that mitigate climate change impacts or 
provide for significant carbon storage and sequestration opportunities as determined by the ITC Manager. 
 
The following situations are NOT eligible for Executive Committee Sponsorship: 
 The application is deemed a development application under ITC policies or is subject to an application process with a 
local trust committee or island municipality. 
 An applicant claims that he or she cannot afford the cost of the application, and the application would not otherwise 
qualify for sponsorship.
