Contribute to CNU's Success with a Year-End DonationDear [firstname], Thank you for being a part of CNU. I’m writing to share with you how your support helped us accomplish a lot this past year and to ask for your continued commitment to help us carry our success on into next year. Please consider showing your support by making a donation to enable us to expand our reach. Today's financial uncertainty is on everyone’s mind as investment account statements arrive in the mail. Amid these worries, we can take some comfort in indications that New Urbanism has been holding a greater share of its value than sprawl as the housing bubble popped and the stock market plummeted. This trend affirms the principles of the CNU Charter and exposes an opportunity for new urbanist projects to attract investment as credit begins to flow again. New Urbanism can't bail out the economy, but we can point a way toward recovery based on the value and desirability of good urban development. CNU has been working on removing incentives for sprawl and barriers to urbanism, so that new urbanists are positioned to deliver our solutions to a world that increasingly realizes it needs them. We are taking the lead in shining a light on the "New American Dream" that can serve as a more sustainable path to prosperity. But our work would not be possible without our members and supporters. CNU is our collective organization—our vehicle for advancing the practice of New Urbanism. People like you generously donate their time and money to make this organization a success. Together we are working to make our vision a reality through exciting programs and initiatives, for example:
CNU and its guiding Charter exist to restore urbanism to the built environment. Through all of our efforts, we are making it easier to design, build, and redevelop urbanism. Learn more about our 2008 Accomplishments online. We depend on our members and donors to support our initiatives. That is why I ask you to please help however you can with a year-end, tax-deductible donation, even if it's just $10. Your gift can help CNU fight to restore and enhance the position of urbanism in the built environment. Please respond today if you can.
