Hi Mates,
Project Leader Roger Phillips here. I have some great news to share with you!
If you donate now to help Restore Australia’s Forest after the Wildfires, your generous gift will be matched. That's right! In honor of Earth Day 2009, GlobalGiving has offered to match all donations at 50% (up to $5,000 per individual). The match will be available from April 4 – April 28 or until $25,000 in matching funds have been depleted.
In addition to matching funds, we are also competing for prizes! The three projects receiving the greatest number of donations will receive prizes of $5,000, $2,500, and $1,000, respectively. Even if matching funds are depleted, the challenge portion of the campaign will continue until April 28th.
We need to act fast! By donating now through GlobalGiving, you will be supporting our project to help Restore Australia’s Forest after the Wildfires. We appreciate your generous support to date and we look forward to updating you again very soon on ground operations. A lot of land protected by conservation easements was damaged by the fires and the Australian Rainforest Foundation (ARF) is working to restore this vital habitat. Some of Australia’s most famous natural icons (like the koala and the wombat) live on this land, and the ARF appreciates your “global” reaching out.
We are very grateful that GlobalGiving selected us for this bonus opportunity. Please help us make the most of it. It's an easy way to get more impact from your donation dollars right now!
Cheers Mates!!!
Roger Phillips
