John,
Two and a half years ago, Trust for Public Land established ambitious goals to conserve 1 million acres of land, protect 1,000 miles of rivers, and build or connect 1,000 miles of trails across America—all by 2025.
And, thanks to advocates like you, we’ve made great progress toward our goal of connecting everyone to the outdoors—thank you!
In 2021 alone, we created 69,520 acres of new public land where people can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and find solace, and because of your support, now more than 9 million people live within a 10-minute walk of a TPL project.
Today, I’m excited to share with you this opportunity to make an even greater impact. An anonymous donor will match, dollar for dollar, every gift we receive, up to a total of $250,000. Will you help us meet our goal by taking advantage of this special match offer and give your most generous membership contribution today?
We are making great progress, but we have so much more work to do if we are to accomplish our ambitious goals. Rampant development and climate change are degrading and destroying open spaces at an alarming rate. Every day we lose 6,000 acres of land to real estate development. By 2050, our country could lose 23 million acres of forest—enough trees to cover the entire state of Indiana. Sites of profound meaning to America are disappearing.
That’s why we are counting on your participation in this special matching gift campaign.
Thanks to our efficient process, every $1 you donate to TPL saves $11 worth of land. And thanks to this matching gift offer, we can now save twice as much land—that’s $22 worth of land for every dollar donated!
Knowing all that we can accomplish together, I hope you will take advantage of this limited-time offer when your membership gift will go twice as far. There truly has never been a better time to make a gift that will have an exponential impact on connecting everyone to the outdoors.
Sincerely,
Barry Hirsch
Director of Membership
