On this important day of giving, I wanted to respectfully send a reminder about
a special way to support historic preservation during #GivingTuesdayNow.

We are humbled by the generosity of the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, a
dedicated partner of the National Trust, who stepped forward to match every gift
we receive. For every $2 you give, another $1 will be matched, making it worth
$3.

Will you join us today in saving historic places and preserving the stories they
embody for future generations to enjoy and learn from?

Dear Friend,

At this time when we are all missing the places we love, I hope you had a chance
this morning to enjoy a virtual walk through Lyndhurst in honor of
#GivingTuesdayNow. Lyndhurst’s beauty was a source of solace and healing for
active-duty servicemen in World War II, and we thought it might provide a little
comfort in this moment of hardship as well.

As a National Trust Historic Site, Lyndhurst is one of countless irreplaceable
historic sites nationwide preserved as havens of history, beauty, and community
thanks to support from friends, like you. Now more than ever, your generosity is essential to ensure that these places
endure to anchor our lives and lift us into the future together.

To encourage your gift, the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust has generously
offered to match your #GivingTuesdayNow gift today.

When you join the National Trust today, for every $2 you give, another $1 will
be matched, making it worth $3 to continue saving places in America. As a small
gesture of our appreciation, you’ll receive an exclusive virtual background of
Lyndhurst to use on your next video call.

Due to site closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic, many of America’s
historic sites are struggling to survive the economic hardships due to the loss
of revenue from public visitation, events, and other activities. Your generosity
will make a tremendous difference in securing the future of our historic places.
At a time when so many of us want to reach out and help but are distanced by the
pandemic, financial giving is truly a sign of hope and dedication to the nation
we love.

#GivingTuesdayNow is a wonderful opportunity to preserve the inspiration and
hope of our cultural heritage, as a source of courage and comfort, now and in
the months ahead.

Your generous annual support will allow the National Trust to carry on our vital
work during this difficult time. While taking every precaution to ensure the
health and safety of our staff, we continue to protect and maintain these
precious places, so that, as soon as conditions allow, you will find them to be
just as beautifully and thoughtfully preserved as you remember.

Please join the National Trust through a generous gift during #GivingTuesdayNow.
Your support will be matched $1 for every $2. A gift of just $30 will become
$45, $50 will become $75, $100 will become $150!

History reminds us that even in the hardest times, there is reason for hope. May
we take heart from the knowledge that we stand on a deep legacy of courage and
perseverance, and may we all know that the beauty, joy, and resilience in us
endure always, and will see us through.

Saving historic places with you,


Paul W. Edmondson
President and CEO

P.S. Please help us take full advantage of this special matching offer by making a
