John,
The past year had an impact on all of us. But our resilience and the recovery of our nation’s mental, physical, and spiritual health is due in no small part to the parks and public lands you help create and protect. In fact, one year ago, generous supporters of The Trust for Public Land joined together for a special Giving Tuesday Now event to help The Trust for Public Land raise much-needed funding … and it was a big success.
And today, we have another unique opportunity to make up for lost ground, because the work before us to reclaim and restore our parks and public lands is greater than ever. Thanks to a special matching gift opportunity, every dollar you contribute today will be matched with another dollar, DOUBLING the impact of your support.
Will you help us make the most out of this rare opportunity by making a generous contribution to advance our vital work and strategic priorities?
You should be reassured that every dollar you contribute will be wisely and efficiently spent. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, your support helped The Trust for Public Land accomplish so much in 2020. We protected 73 places and created 94,641 acres of new public land, improved access to trails in 22 communities, built 23 new parks, passed 31 state and local ballot measures for green spaces, and won a huge legislative victory with permanent and full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
You should be very proud of these accomplishments, because you made them happen. And you can help us achieve even more in 2021 by helping us make the most out of this match opportunity by making a gift to The Trust for Public Land today!
Your support will greatly aid our efforts to reclaim, repair, and restore public lands in 2021 and beyond. As one of our dedicated supporters, you know our strategic goal is to conserve 1 million acres of land, protect 1,000 miles of rivers, and build 1,000 miles of trails across America by 2025. And your contribution of $35 or whatever you can afford right now will help fund our journey toward these aggressive goals.
John, your tax-deductible donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar. A contribution of $25
will be doubled to $50 ... a donation of
$35 will add up to $70 ... and a
$50 donation will mean $100 in much-needed funding for The Trust for Public Land.
If we reach our goal by May 31 … and raise $250,000 from our supporters … which will then be matched with another $250,000 … we will raise half-a-million dollars in much-needed funding. Furthermore, we are able to save $8 of land for every dollar we raise because of The Trust for Public Land’s efficient process … which means, thanks to this match gift offer, you will save twice as much land — that’s $16 worth of land for every dollar you give!
I know we can count on your positive response to this truly unique opportunity to save America's public lands. So please respond today!
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Senior Director of Annual Giving
