🎶 I've got chills, they're multiplying! 🎶
Thankfully, though, I'm not losing control—not yet. I am, however, SO excited ... that Giving Tuesday is finally here!
And while I promised a colleague I'd show some restraint, I just can't deny it: you're the one that I want, John ... to make a 2X matched gift before midnight so we can protect more land and beat our Giving Tuesday goal >>
To make sure no one misses out on Giving Tuesday matching gift opportunities, we started our campaign yesterday. Thanks to those early bird donors, we're already a third of the way to our 1,300 member gifts goal!
I know there are so many worthy causes asking for your support today, John. Let me tell you why I think Trust for Public Land deserves your gift:
- We pursue the full benefits of well-protected public land. Green spaces have the power to alleviate stress and anxiety, inspire curiosity, strengthen social ties, and improve overall health (and if you're brave enough, you can sing in them too-ooh-ooh!). With every project, we consider how our work can maximize these benefits for as many people as possible.
- We protect land everywhere. We don't want only people with the means to travel to benefit from green spaces, so we work to provide access to well-maintained green spaces in cities, suburbs, and small towns.
- We push hard for governments to do their part. We're proud to have helped pass 614 pro-green-space ballot measures across the country, and we're not done fighting yet.
Accessible, beautiful, and engaging outdoor spaces support healthy communities, and healthy communities help build healthy societies.
At a time when technology is built to keep us glued to our screens, digesting more information faster than humans ever have before, you can help provide more green spaces that give us all good reasons to go outside: to commune with nature, get lost in our thoughts, converse with each other, roam, play, put down our phones.
So, what do you say, John? Are you in? I sure hope so!
☑️ I'm in, Josh. I'm ready to make my 2X matched Giving Tuesday gift >>
Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

P.S. That feeling I'm feeling thinking about you pitching in—it's electrifying 🙃
P.P.S. We do our best not to ask members for gifts who just made a gift, but sometimes our records don't update fast enough to keep recent donors from receiving an appeal like this. So, if you did just give, thank you for your support, and our apologies for the extra request!
