Dear Friend,

You have more power than you know. You have the power to affect change in the world with a simple “yes”.

The National Geographic Society has said “yes” to over 450 active Explorer projects in more than 140 countries around the world to help you, future generations, policy makers and governments around the world experience and, even, feel empathy for our planet.

We say “yes” to learning more about our world, allowing us to share more, preserve more, and save more… which is why your “yes” is crucial right now as we approach the end of the year.

You see, the National Geographic Society is funded by caring people just like you, and we can only do this together. Your support is critical – we need your help!

We've already begun some of the world's most-ambitious re-wilding and conservation efforts, like…

• Finding the reasons behind penguin population decline…
• Bringing jaguars, macaws and other species back to vast areas where they had all-but disappeared…
• Fostering positive human-wildlife relationships that inspire students to learn about local wildlife, including elephants, and ways to take action to protect wildlife and wild spaces…

And we need you to help us continue vital projects like these by saying “yes”.

Yes, you have the power to change the world. And joining us as a Contributing Member at the National Geographic Society alongside our mission programs and Explorers in the field is the best way to make that change.

Will you join us in saying “yes” by making a tax-deductible Contributing Membership gift today?

When you do even a little, it helps a lot. You can rest assured that every dollar you share with us will be put to the best possible use. Your gift allows us to say “yes” to innovative solutions, new ideas, and new discoveries.

“Yes” is what we're doing here at the National Geographic Society. That's what your donation will help us continue to do. Make the world shareable… changeable… improvable… and savable.

Please join us and say “yes” to the world’s, and all of our, futures.

Sincerely,

Curtis D.O.
Senior Manager, Annual Giving

PS: With the end of the year rapidly approaching, your support of our Explorers and programs is mission-critical. Please join us in illuminating and protecting the wonder of our world by making a gift today.
