[LTER-sbc_help] Special Thanks to HBRF Angels - CORRECTED

[Hubbard Brook Research Foundation]

 ‌ ‌  Promoting the understanding and stewardship of forest ecosystems through scientific research and monitoring, policy outreach, and education Special Thanks to Spring Angels My earlier message included an incomplete list of contributors to HBRF's spring appeal. With appreciation for your generosity and apologies for my mistake, I'm sharing this updated version. The Hubbard Brook Research Foundation is supported, in part, by a growing number of private citizens across and beyond New England. The vast majority of our donors (79%) contribute between $5 and $300 annually to our spring and year-end direct-mail appeals. Given the economic strains of COVID-19, this year, we issued a much smaller spring appeal to our Trustees and select donors only. We asked them to consider special spring gifts, to lift the burden from the rest of our donors. Fundraising is very much like a call-and-response. With each annual fund appeal, we are asking "Do you believe in this work?" "Do you believe in us?" "Are you willing to make an investment?" This spring, a small group of Angel Donors heard the call, and the response was tremendous! 32 donor households 6 weeks An inspiring matching challenge from an anonymous foundation More than $74,000 in gifts and pledges raised! HBRF is deeply grateful to these incredibly generous friends who carried the spring appeal, stabilizing our programs and operations so that we can continue to provide science outreach and education for smart policy and practice.
