Dear Agriculture,

Boy Feeding Horse

Time is running out to make your year-end tax-deductible donation.

Donate Now

With the close of this year's holiday season, I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on the bounty of the season and how it contributed to your enjoyment of the holidays.

Whether it was a Christmas tree from a local tree farm, a holiday turkey or freshly harvested fruits and vegetables…the "season of giving" just wouldn’t be the same without the gifts of the land.

Please make a special year-end gift today to support American Farmland Trust's farm and ranch land protection efforts.

Thanks to support from people like you, 2008 was a year of important achievements.

  • Many of you took action, helping us win gains for fresh food, the environment and a future for farming in the new farm bill;
  • We sent out thousands of No Farms No Food bumper stickers to individuals and farmers markets across the United States to help spread the message about the value of farms for our communities;
  • We worked with agriculture to improve conservation practices on farms and to improve the health of our nation’s most threatened bodies of water;
  • And we helped secure funding and smart policy for farmland protection across the country. We have ambitious goals to surpass these efforts in 2009—but we need your help to achieve them.

These last few days of the year are your last chance to support AFT and benefit from a tax deduction on your 2008 tax return.

Make a tax-deductible year-end gift to American Farmland Trust now.

Although the holidays are behind us, I hope you'll keep the spirit of the season going and consider making a secure online donation now to help American Farmland Trust’s work to improve access to fresh food, protect more farms from development and conserve our vital natural resources in 2009.

Donate now and your gift will be doubled! Thanks to a promise from AFT’s board of directors to help match your donation, all donations received by January 19th will be doubled! Make a secure online donation now to support our work in 2009.

From all of us at American Farmland Trust, thank you for your support and best wishes for the New Year.

Sincerely,
