You can support bold action for climate 

Make your gift to Fresh Energy today, Give to the Max Day, to support a just, prosperous, and resilient future powered by a shared commitment to a carbon-neutral economy. 

Dear John,

The 2020s are being called the “decisive decade” – because the actions we take between now and 2030 will have an inordinately large impact on our future climate. I don't need to tell you how high the stakes are: 2024 set more records for extreme weather, and science tells us we must reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next five years to avoid the worst effects of climate change. 

The changes we make by 2030 – both in our policies and our actions – will be felt for generations to come. Fresh Energy is ready to navigate our new political landscape with thoughtful courage and unrelenting determination to defend the progress we have made and continue to take on climate change by advancing new policies. But we can’t do this important work without you. 

John, will you contribute to Fresh Energy this Give to the Max Day to ensure we keep moving forward on climate change during this decisive decade? Right now, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000, when you donate at GiveMN.org. 

Over the past year, Fresh Energy has worked tirelessly to advance Minnesota’s clean energy transition. From ensuring that Xcel Energy is building more renewables like wind and solar and investing in storage rather than new gas plants, to forging new and deeper relationships with equity partners to establish innovative grant programs for under-resourced communities, we are driving change, together, thanks to supporters like you. 

And we’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding our efforts to include Minnesota’s agricultural and heavy industry sectors, as shared in our five-year strategic roadmap, “Vision 2030,” that will help us adapt to new challenges as we strive to dramatically drive down emissions. 

Looking ahead to our goals for the coming year, you can trust Fresh Energy to equitably drive down carbon emissions by: 

Your gift to Fresh Energy will ensure we can act now to tackle the climate crisis. We don’t have any time to waste: Will you join us and take action to build a cleaner Minnesota for communities, our future generations, and our planet? Donate now and together, we will build a thriving Minnesota that works for everyone. 

With gratitude, 

Brenda Cassellius 
Chief Executive Officer
