Since we announced 24 hours ago that the Hyde Family Foundation will be tripling all gifts to the Greensward project, the community has pitched in an additional $18,000! The Foundation will match those dollars 2:1, adding an additional $36,000 to the total. This brings our total to date up to $904,000. All we need is $32,000 to access the remainder of the matching funds and meet our million-dollar goal.
We’ve also added six states to our total from yesterday, bringing us up to 36 states. If we’re going to green the whole map, it’s time to put a little friendly pressure on the Dakotas!
Thanks to the Memphis Flyer for posting this article about the campaign and what’s next for the Conservancy. Hint: we’ve got some fallen trees to clean up!
