Dear John,
We’re living through an unprecedented period; a time that calls for each of us to take stock of what’s important and what matters most—including everyone here at Ceres. |
The coronavirus outbreak has not only impacted the health and lives of all those we hold dear, but has also upended our global economy, causing significant financial setbacks across all sectors. Now is the time to recreate our capital market systems, building them back better than ever before. Now
is the time to keep climate top of mind, which is why we need our most dedicated supporters at our side right away. So I’m writing with some important news. |
John, we’re relying upon the generosity of our donors during this uncertain time. With your help, we can create a more resilient economy, one that enables us to continue our large-scale efforts to fight against the devastating effects of climate change. Together, we’ll create the world we’re all hoping for, a planet we can be proud of.
Quickly: Time is running out. As Earth Day fast-approaches, please: don’t let us fall short. Double your impact now >> |
This is exactly the right time to be thinking about our climate and shared future, John. Why?
As our CEO, Mindy Lubber recently put it: “We are seeing first hand the need for collective action and mass mobilization to tackle a common crisis—whether it be COVID-19 or the climate crisis.”
This couldn’t be more true. When each and every person makes sustainable choices, these decisions add up to lasting change. This critical concept of scalable action is the Ceres Solution, the basis of our shared work and mission.
And even in the midst of this pandemic, financial stakeholders have continued to focus on the persisting threats the climate crisis presents. Just last week, Shell committed to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050, thanks to the efforts of our Climate Action 100+ investors. |
But the economic volatility we now face worldwide means we need to go one step further. This crisis must be treated as a mandate to establish more sustainable systems … a better world—and the innovation required takes leadership.
Help us continue to act as decisive leaders during these tough times. Give now and your tax-deductible gift will be MATCHED 100% >> |
(But remember: this offer ends midnight tomorrow, and we don’t have a moment to lose).
Thank you in advance for helping ensure that our climate remains a top priority in the challenging days that lie ahead. |
With solidarity,
|

P.S. This health crisis has revealed systemic vulnerabilities that demonstrate the need for widespread leadership from our corporate partners and from Ceres. We will leverage our resources to gain the ear of the world’s largest economic stakeholders, who together have the power to build back our global systems even better. But we can’t do it without you, John.
Don’t hesitate—time is short. Your gift goes TWICE the length for a greener future through midnight tomorrow. GIVE NOW >> |
