John,
You know that our community parks, forests, recreation areas, national monuments and national parks are gifts to be appreciated now — and protected for future generations. That’s why in the past, you’ve stood with us in the fight to defend public land.
As we begin the season of generosity with Giving Tuesday, you have a limited-time opportunity to show how grateful you are for parks and public lands — and how determined you are to protect them.
When you make your Giving Tuesday gift to The Trust for Public Land by December 1, one of our generous supporters will TRIPLE any amount you give, up to $250,000, to create parks and protect public lands for people.
Your special gift of $25 will grow to $75. Your donation of $35 will become $105. And your $50 contribution will triple to $150.
But time is short, for our public lands and for this Triple Matching Gift opportunity. Our system of public lands is reeling from years of abuse and neglect. The assault on Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments was just the beginning. Bulldozing is still happening in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Southern Arizona.
But with every setback, your support for The Trust for Public Land fights back. Despite the pandemic in 2020, your generosity helped The Trust for Public Land secure and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Together, we made sure that this federal program will continue to direct fees from oil and gas drilling to investments in parks and open space and continue to cost taxpayers nothing — but benefit everyone.
Even when we face the greatest challenges, your support is making an impact. And when you make a gift before Giving Tuesday on December 1, your impact will triple.
With your tripled gift, we can move quickly to reclaim, repair, and restore our parks and public lands — regardless of who is in power — as we keep moving closer to achieving our goal by 2025 to protect one million acres of land … put a quality park within a 10-minute walk of five million people who currently lack access… and build 1,000 miles of trails.
Where would we be without our public lands, and where would our public lands be without you?
Please help us make the most of this Triple-Match opportunity, while we still can. A generous supporter has offered to triple-match every gift, up to a total of $250,000. The deadline is December 1, but I hope you’ll make your gift now, while you’re thinking of how much public lands mean to you.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Senior Director of Annual Giving
