John—There's just one day left until the end of the year which means our budget deadline is rapidly approaching.
We set an ambitious fundraising goal for the end of the year because we have a lot to achieve together in 2024 and beyond. So much, in fact, that we are matching every donation 5X until midnight tomorrow. We're so close to our goal, but we need one final push to get us over the top.
Before we close the books on 2023, will you join the hundreds of Trust for Public Land members who've already contributed with your own tax-deductible gift? Right now, it will be 5X matched to go 5X as far.
What we're able to raise in these final days of the year is part of determining whether or not we have the resources we need to carry out our mission—and protect the majestic sights our public lands have to offer each and every day from rampant development and climate change.
We know the power of this community to make an incredible difference for our parks and public lands. In our first 50 years of existence, we've protected 4 million acres of land, created 5,364 parks, trails, and schoolyards, and connected nearly 9.4 million people to the outdoors. That wouldn't have been possible without the continued support and unshakeable commitment of this community—of people like you.
Soon, we'll know what kind of resources we'll have on hand to create parks and protect public lands in 2024. Starting the year with a shortfall would mean we can't be as impactful as we need to be.
Please, pitch in before the deadline while your gift can still go 5X as far >>
Sincerely,
Barry Hirsch
Trust for Public Land
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!
