John,
This will be my last opportunity to contact you before the scheduled deadline of May 31 to participate in the special matching gift challenge. If you give now, your tax-deductible contribution will be matched … dollar for dollar … DOUBLING the impact of your support.
If we can raise $250,000 from our donors, we will receive another $250,000 … which means a total of half a million dollars in much-needed funding to advance our vital work and strategic priorities. Can we count on your support at this key moment?
Our public lands and parks have faced many years of abuse and neglect for political and financial gain, and we must make the most of this match opportunity — because the work before us to reclaim and restore our parks and public lands is greater than ever.
Your support right now will aid our many projects around the nation, including the creation of the Long Island Greenway in New York State … a 175-mile trail for walkers, joggers, bikers, commuters, and others from Manhattan to Montauk. The Long Island Greenway will connect 7.8 million New Yorkers who live east of the city to the 750-mile Empire State Trail, the longest multi-use trail in the nation, that spans the state from Plattsburgh and Buffalo to New York City.
But for this plan to succeed, we must have the funding necessary to move forward. Will you help us by making a tax-deductible contribution today?
The Long Island Greenway is just one of our many efforts. Our goal is to … conserve one million acres of land … protect 1,000 miles of rivers … and connect or build 1,000 miles of trails … all across America by 2025. This will move us much closer to our ultimate goal of ensuring everyone has access to the outdoors, from neighborhood parks to national parks.
But the success of these aggressive goals rests squarely on the shoulders of our supporters … including you. We depend upon the support of concerned citizens like you for a large portion of our budget. And there is no better time for you to give than right now. Your tax-deductible contribution will be matched, dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your support.
The deadline is midnight, May 31 … only days away … so please respond now and double your impact before the deadline and before you make plans for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Thank you for your ongoing support of The Trust for Public Land, and I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Senior Director of Annual Giving
