Dear friend,

Here’s the hard truth: EWG is dangerously behind on our 2024 fundraising goals, which threatens our ability to fight back against the industries behind toxic chemicals such as glyphosate, paraquat and PFAS chemicals.

And we need to fight back: There is nothing these companies would like better than to shut EWG down.

Bayer-Monsanto called EWG’s pesticide work “propaganda.” The Alliance of Food and Farming labeled us the “OG food bully.” And 3M, a major manufacturer of toxic “forever chemicals,” accused us of being “misleading” about their decades-long cover-up.

They’re targeting EWG because we expose the truth: Chemical industry giants value profits over people.

Our revenue shortfall couldn’t come at a worse time. We’re stepping up our work to ban harmful food additives and toxic pesticides like Parkinson’s-linked paraquat and get PFAS out of our food, water and bodies. But we can’t keep up this crucial work unless we close the funding gap – and we need to raise $23,548 by the end of the month. Take a look:

We checked our records, and it looks like you haven’t yet donated to EWG.

Will you step up with your first gift of just $10 or more? As a thank-you, we’ll send you our Dirty Dozen™ and Clean Fifteen™ wallet guide, so you can keep making informed choices to limit your pesticide exposure.

More than HALF of EWG’s funding comes from individuals like you. Without your help, we risk losing the very basis of our fight for your health and environment. Every dollar counts.

Here’s what your donation will help us do:

Time is running out – we need to raise $23,548 by midnight on September 30. If we don’t hit this target, the advocacy and research you rely on could be at serious risk.

Please, don’t wait. Stand with EWG and make your first tax-deductible donation today. Every single contribution makes a difference.

Thanks for your commitment, friend. We’re counting on you.
