How Save Farms for ExtraGive
We are less than a week away until Lancaster’s big day of giving, and we’re counting down the days! ExtraGive is the perfect time to show your support for farmland preservation, and there are so many ways you can get involved. Don’t forget, every dollar you give to Lancaster Farmland Trust during ExtraGive will be stretched by generous community matches – and with more matches than ever, YOU can save more farms in Lancaster County! You can also celebrate our local farms and food with us at Proof of Lancaster! Check out the details below to be join the fun and help us raise more for Lancaster’s farmland!

Give Early, Give Often!
One of the best ways to make your gift go further on ExtraGive is to give as early as possible on November 21st. Whether you stay up and give at midnight or give first thing in the morning, giving early allows Lancaster Farmland Trust to be visible to new donors, spreading the word about our mission!

More Match Opportunities than Ever!
We are so excited to announce that this year, we have more generous matches than ever before! Thanks to our incredible match sponsors, every donation made during our match periods will go even further to protect Lancaster County farmland. To kick things off, our first match period begins at 12 a.m., thanks to The Wenger Group, Jeff and Kathy Kirk, and a generous anonymous donor. Then, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., we have a special midday match from our friends at Lancaster Gift Box. Later, the celebration continues with more matches during our Proof event starting at 5 p.m. – so no matter when you give, the impact of your dollar will be multiplied!
More Individual Gifts = More Awareness for LFT!
Remember, the more individual gifts nonprofits receive, the more likely they are to reach the top of the leaderboard, increasing visibility and, in turn, finding new friends and supporters for LFT! Together, we can reach even more of Lancaster County.
Spread the Word
Awareness is everything, and you have the power to spread the word about farmland preservation this ExtraGive! This year, we’re sharing farmers’ stories about preservation, conservation, and stewardship. YOU can spread the word by liking and sharing these stories and other content on November 21st.
