John,
These are difficult times for all of us. I truly hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy.
I’m writing with some good news … but first I want to assure you that this pandemic has not slowed down The Trust for Public Land in any way.
We are still working day and night in Washington, D.C., to obtain the full $900 million to which the Land and Water Conservation Fund is due.
We are still seeking out land that could be permanently protected for public use, and we are still working on the preservation projects we had in progress before the pandemic started.
We are still creating public parks and green spaces … and we won’t stop until every American has quality open space within a 10-minute walk of home.
We are still transforming communities with public green spaces that improve the health of residents, jump start local economies, and slow the rate of climate change.
We are still doing all this and more, even as donations have dropped precipitously. Many of our members and donors have asked how they can help, and now an exciting opportunity has come up that I knew you’d want to hear about.
John, because the need is so great right now, a generous friend of The Trust for Public Land has offered to match every gift we receive for the next 30 days, up to a total of $250,000. Basically, this is an offer to double the donation you make today.
Your gift of $25 will be matched with another $25, turning it into $50. Donate $35, and it will become $70. A gift of $50 will be $100 once it’s matched.
John, this is a chance for you to do twice as much good and save twice as much land. Make a donation to The Trust for Public Land, and it will be doubled.
Our supporters have gotten us through difficult times like this before, and undoubtedly will again. It’s good to know that so many dedicated members who truly care about public lands have our backs. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
