John,

The survival of bumblebees is on the line.

A bumblebee population is almost half as likely to survive in North America as it was 35 years ago. The odds aren't in the bees' favor.1

But with you by our side, we can give bees better odds of thriving in the year ahead.

We're thrilled to announce an incredible opportunity to help save wild bees: Starting right now, some of our most generous donors have pledged to match all year-end donations up to $100,000 nationwide.

Can you help bees survive? Donate before midnight on Dec. 31 and generous donors will match your gift.

Let's be clear: Our year-end fundraising campaign is our single-most important fundraising drive of the year.

When we put together our campaign plans, we absolutely count on the money we raise during these critical final days of the year.

But there are only two days left before the start of the new year, and we're still shy of our goals.

That's why we're so thrilled to announce that all year-end donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar if you give before midnight tomorrow.

If you give $20, we'll get $40. If you give $50, we'll get $100. Every dollar you donate unlocks even more support for our campaign to save the bees, as well as all our other work to put wildlife over waste, protect our old-growth forests, and more.

Don't miss this opportunity to double your impact to protect the environment. Donate right now to help save the bees.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery
