20th Milestone Anniversary - Endowment Fund Challenge Gift Opportunity

Endowment Fund Challenge Gift Opportunity: Honoring and Celebrating the Impact of Jim Kettler

Thanks to the inspiring generosity of an anonymous donor, we have a special challenge gift opportunity to significantly increase the impact of endowment fund giving as part of our LNRP 20th milestone anniversary celebration. 

Our anonymous donor has offered to contribute $1 for every $3 given to our LNRP Endowment Fund, up to a maximum contribution by this donor of $25,000.

With this in mind, your Endowment Fund gift now of $300 in actuality becomes a gift of $400. Your gift of $600 becomes $800. Your gift of $1,200 becomes $1,600! Don't have the ability to give at that level today? You can make a pledge and pay in two installments (once in 2022, and the balance in 2023).

And, all of that giving adds up in a big way! In short, if we can raise $75,000 in donations and pledges by the end of our 20th milestone anniversary year (2023), our anonymous donor will contribute a total of $25,000 ($12,500 this year and another $12,500 next year). That donor’s $25,000, combined with your $75,000, will bring us a total LNRP Endowment Fund contribution of $100,000!

However…there is just one (important!) catch to it all. To honor our anonymous donor's wishes, we only get the full $25,000 from her/him WHEN we secure the full $75,000 in additional gifts and pledges to our LNRP Endowment Fund. So, we have work to do – but we can absolutely get this done together!

What a perfect way to celebrate LNRP’s 20 years of land and water conservation impact – and to honor the impact of Jim Kettler, longtime LNRP Executive Director, who helped lead so much of it forward!

Our gratitude to our generous anonymous donor, and to all our generous LNRP Endowment Fund supporters, who help us secure this Challenge Gift! To give online, please visit: https://www.lnrp.org/onlinegiving-endowment-fund
