We are thrilled to tell you that we are making good progress on reaching our fundraising goal to acquire and preserve the former Timber Shores property.
Back in mid-August, we said we were within $2 million of achieving our campaign goal. And that we had just received a $1 million challenge grant, effectively meaning every donation/pledge is doubled.
Today, we have a little more than $300,000 left to raise against the challenge!
We need everyone to be as generous as they can for this once-in-a generation moment. All donations help us reach success, and pledges of support will make an especially big difference to help us move forward with the purchasing process later this fall.
The support from donors from across Leelanau County and beyond has been awe-inspiring. The Board of New Community Vision is humbled by the community’s willingness to step up and be part of a project that will impact our lives now and our children and grandchildren’s lives into the future. We are deeply grateful to the nearly 300 of you who have already donated or pledged. Thank you!
Many of you walked the property with us and our partners and collaborators – the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and Peninsula Housing - this Spring and Summer and have seen first-hand what is at stake. You have helped us to spread the word about this important property and for that we thank you and ask you to keep doing that!
Please help us to get across the finish line.
As you consider your gift, remember gifts of any amount matter to the success of this project. Your gift today will be doubled, dollar for dollar, by our $1 million challenge donor.
