When your donors bestow a gift, encourage them to match it with a donation to the Trust.

Forming a partnership with the Trust enables year-long gift giving.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=Garamond>Displaying trust materials near your gift shop might encourage a donation from someone doing some last minute shopping. Mail Trust materials with your fundraising appeals. Include a Trust book mark as an insert with your donor acknowledgement letters. Remind your donors that their membership qualifies as a donation and that they can double their support at no additional cost by matching it with a donation to the Trust and claiming the tax credit.
