| Year-end Match-My-Gift Challenge ends soon |
| In 2020, our parks and public lands have given us so much—physically, mentally, and spiritually. As this difficult year comes to an end, we urge you to show your support for the parks and public lands that help keep us healthy, resilient, and connected with friends. Your tax-deductible year-end gift by December 31 will be matched for twice the impact to create more community parks and protect public lands. |

| When we welcome and include everyone who calls America home, we bring out the best in our community, our nation, and ourselves.

| Millions of acres of public land are blocked by private property. We’re changing that. |
| “A whole generation of kids has never known about this area,” says one Arizona outdoorswoman of a vast wilderness that's blocked by private property. “It’s just been closed for too long.” |

| The lifeblood of community |
| Simply put, we can't do what we do without our community partners—the local organizations that are on the front lines working to make their neighborhoods healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable. That's why we're proud to support Mosaic—a coalition that has granted more than $1.4 million to over 130 grassroots environmental and justice groups nationwide. |
