The Federal
Charter.
Absolute transparency is the bedrock of institutional trust. Below, we detail the exact legal and financial mechanics of the Everground National Land Trust registry.
Governance Structure
Everground is registered as a National Community Land Trust under CRA non-profit status. Our governance is overseen by a "Tripartite Board" consisting of 1/3 Public Stewards (residents), 1/3 Community Stakeholders (local neighbors), and 1/3 Institutional Experts (economists, lawyers, and architects).
The Resale Formula
"To preserve permanent affordability, we utilize an inflation-indexed resale formula. When a steward exits the trust, they receive their original purchase price plus 25% of the appraised market gain, ensuring the remaining 75% stays embedded in the home's affordability for the next family."
CRA Compliance
Everground operates as a strictly non-profit steward. All surplus capital generated from commercial cross-subsidization or social impact bond issuance is legally mandated to be 100% reinvested into further land acquisition and neighborhood restoration.
