E-News: Generous Donors Provide Match for End of Year Gifts
Back to E-Newsletter (Fall 2010)
We’re happy to announce that two of Ojai Valley Land Conservancy’s most dedicated supporters have generously offered to match your end of year gift!
“We truly believe in the mission of the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and we feel that this is the best way we can really make a difference in this valley. Hopefully it will be an inspiration to others to give,” expressed one of the donors.
We are grateful to these special supporters and hope that their generosity inspires you, like it does us.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMBERSHIP AND END OF YEAR GIFTS?
Annual membership dues are important to keeping the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy financially fit throughout the year, keeping the bills paid and the staff hard at work to protect and restore Ojai’s natural places. We thank you if you have renewed your membership already this year whether in response to our spring membership drive or at whatever time of year works best for you.
End of year gifts are an opportunity to make a second gift which will result in a significant impact for the protection of the Ojai Valley. In addition to the fact that your end of year gift will be matched, it will allow us to do much more conservation in 2011.
OVLC staff is currently working on some important conservation projects and your end of year gift increases the likelihood that they will come to fruition in 2011. These projects are exciting and are impactful economic, aesthetic, and recreational contributions to the Ojai Valley.
By investing in our work, your dollars are not only matched but are also multiplied as we work to secure large grants for land purchases and ecologic restoration projects. Grant funds are strictly limited to these purposes and cannot be used for day to day expenses so we’re thankful for your ongoing support.
Look for your annual gift appeal soon for details about this year’s challenge match. Please give generously to show your support for the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and to our generouse matching donors. Thanks so much for your support!
