  Our region of focus is the Southwest, which generally includes: Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, southern Colorado, western Oklahoma, western Texas, southern California, southern Nevada, and northwest Mexico. Native communities in arid places outside of this region may also apply.

  •  10 – 15 years of annual rental payments

  • 5% practice incentive payment

  • Sign-up incentive equal to 32.5% of the first year’s rental payment
