John,
I have exciting news to share!
The deadline for our matching gift challenge has been extended to June 15. If you donate to The Trust for Public Land today, your tax-deductible contribution will be matched … dollar for dollar … to save an incredible $16 worth of land for every $1 you give. As one of our most committed supporters, I know we can count on your support.
The damage to our public lands in recent years has been all too real. We now have the opportunity to reclaim, repair, and restore our parks and public lands, and the gift you make today will be doubled as soon as it is received to create twice the momentum and resources for all the vital work and strategic priorities of The Trust for Public Land.
Your contribution will support The Trust for Public Land’s many projects across the country … including our efforts to give Long Island its turn with the Long Island Greenway. The 750-mile Empire State Trail from Plattsburgh and Buffalo to New York City is the longest multi-use trail in the country. The problem is that trail ends in Manhattan, leaving out the 7.8 million New Yorkers who live east of the city.
John, you're one of our most committed supporters, and I’m counting on your support today to help The Trust for Public Land turn utility corridors into the Long Island Greenway, creating a 175-mile trail for walkers, joggers, bikers, commuters, and others from Manhattan to Montauk.
The Trust for Public Land has a goal 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. And your tax-deductible contribution … together with the match … will greatly aid our efforts to reach this goal. But only if you make your gift before this opportunity expires.
Your gift of $25
will become
$50 ...
a contribution of
$35
will be doubled to
$70 ...
and a
$50
donation will add up to
$100
… making your support for The Trust for Public Land twice as large and twice as effective.
Time is slipping by and the deadline of June 15 is fast approaching. I hope that we can count on your immediate support to gain much-needed funding for these important projects. We can’t do it without you.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Senior Director of Annual Giving
P.S. Remember, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, up to a total of $250,000. But it must be received by June 15. Please give today to transform communities by creating close-to-home parks and saving public lands — and reaping the benefits they offer to all of us.
