I believe you will find that the SCA and/or Kingdom rules forbid 
improvements to privately owned property  to be funded with official 
SCA funds because it is a solution that would jeopardize the SCA's 
status as a 501(c)3 and, depending on Texas law, the non-profit 
status of the group as well

When there were desired improvements for the Estrella War site in 
Atenveldt the SCA could not fund them directly - I believe a separate 
non-profit group was formed that did not take any funds directly from 
the SCA and they raised money and made improvements.

YMMV,
Laetitia
