Giving Tuesday is Today - Help us Reach the Finish Line

Dear John,

First and foremost: Thank you. If you’ve already contributed to our End-of-Year Matching Gift Challenge, please know how deeply grateful we are. Your support is already making waves on the frontlines for the ocean and the life within it.

We also want to acknowledge that you may be hearing from us more than usual and we sincerely appreciate your understanding. We never take your time or attention for granted, but we have been working hard to finish out this year’s campaigns strong and prepare for 2026.

As of this Giving Tuesday, we are still working to reach the momentum we typically see on this global day of generosity. While our Million Dollar Match runs through December 31, Giving Tuesday plays a critical role in setting the pace for the final month of the challenge. That’s why we’re reaching out again today to our wider community.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, every gift you make right now is still doubled (dollar for dollar) making your impact go twice as far to fuel our ongoing campaigns protecting marine wildlife, defending habitats, and confronting illegal exploitation at sea.

And if you already gave, there’s still a powerful way you can help.

We would be incredibly grateful if you shared this opportunity with someone who cares about the oceans, too. A simple forward of this email or a quick message to a friend, family member, or colleague can make all the difference.

You can also help move the match by starting a fundraiser on JustGiving, giving via Donor Advised Funds, Stock Gifts, Employer Matching, Retirement Distributions, or joining our Direct Action Crew as a monthly donor (if you aren’t already a part of this program). Every method is doubled through December 31.

Thank you for standing with us on Giving Tuesday and every day in between. This vital work only happens because of supporters like you.

For The Oceans,

Francois Van Sull

Sea Shepherd Captain
