John,
As we enter the final week of the year, we want to make sure we can finish 2021 on a high note, especially since I know how much you care about saving open spaces.
That’s why we wanted to make sure you saw our special offer for this crucial time of year. When you give to The Trust for Public Land today, your membership gift will be DOUBLED with our matching gift campaign.
For every $1 you donate, we can save $11 worth of land, but with this increased offer, that dollar means saving $22 worth of land!
That also means you will have double the impact to:
- Help our Federal Affairs team defend public lands. From advocating for critical conservation funding, to making sure that our national monuments, parks, and green spaces are preserved for generations to come, our team in Washington, D.C. is working tirelessly to protect the future of public lands.
- Ensure that every person in America has a park or open space within a 10-minute walk of home. Study after study has shown that parks are critical to the physical, social, environmental, and economic health of a community. Even so, 100 million people in America — including 28 million kids — don’t have a close-to-home park. We’re going to change that.
- Convert bare concrete schoolyards into vibrant public parks. All too often, schoolyards look more like parking lots than playgrounds. Through our Community Schoolyards™ projects, we’re working to transform underused schoolyards into great public parks full of trees, shade, and places to play and enjoy the outdoors.
All of these efforts are vital parts of our five-year campaign to conserve one million acres of land, open Community Schoolyards in 20 underserved school districts, preserve 1,000 miles of scenic rivers, and build or connect 1,000 miles of trails all by the year 2025. It’s an aggressive goal, but with your ongoing support, we can reach it.
The year is almost over, so our year-end matching gift offer will end soon. Make your tax-deductible contribution by midnight on December 31 so that your special year-end gift can be DOUBLED to create more parks and protect public land.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
P.S. With your gift doubling in impact, that means your special gift of $25 will grow to $50. Your donation of $35 will become $70. And your $50 contribution will double to $100.
