HOW YOU CAN HELP

The 2008 Membership Campaign

During the 2007 membership campaign, SLT received nearly $106,000 in contributions from 260 members. SLT needs to raise through its 2008 membership campaign $149,000 to meet its operating budget (not including project capital expenses). To renew your membership or become a member, please print and mail our donation or pledge form. Contributions to SLT are tax-deductible.

20th Anniversary Challenge Grant

Donate $1,000 or more in 2008
to any land protection project or fund!


This year, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and in recognition of SLT’s upcoming 20th anniversary, a $100,000 Challenge Grant has been established to encourage gifts of $1,000 or more.

The challenge will match the increase in giving over 2007 of contributors who make gifts of $1,000 or greater in 2008.

For example, if you gave $100 in 2007 and you give $1,000 in 2008, the Challenge will match $900 of your gift;
If you gave $1,000 in 2007 and you give $5,000 in 2008, the Challenge will match $4,000 of your gift.

This is an all or nothing challenge. SLT must raise the entire $100,000 to be eligible for the grant.

Pledges meeting the above criteria submitted during 2008 and fulfilled before SLT’s 20th anniversary annual meeting in June, 2009 will also be eligible to be matched.


Gifts of $1,000 or more, multi-year pledges and bequests are ways that you can help SLT achieve its operating and project fund raising goals! View SLT's most recent IRS Form 990.
