Help keep EWG's science and research going

Hi friend,

I’m following up on Casey’s email from this morning (see below). Supporters are stepping up, but we’re still $23,460 short of what we need to keep EWG’s independent science and consumer guides going.

I noticed you haven’t chipped in yet – can we count on you to help close the gap?

Industry is spending millions to prevent states from protecting families from toxic food chemicals and pesticides. And now, with scientists’ jobs being gutted across federal agencies, EWG’s science leadership is needed more than ever.

Every donation helps – even $5 or $10. Your gift today adds to the momentum we need to defend public health.

Join us in this final push – it could be you who gets us across the finish line.

With thanks,

Jocelyn Lyle
Executive Vice President, Mission and Partnerships, EWG

EWG’S GIVING TUESDAY CHALLENGE GOAL: $100,000 2X MATCH DONATE NOW
DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
Deadline:
 

Friend, I need to be honest with you: Our Giving Tuesday campaign is off to a slower start than we anticipated.

This is our biggest fundraising day of the year: the day that determines how much EWG can do to protect you from toxic chemicals in 2026. Your donation can power the momentum we need to get back on track. We need to hit our $100,000 goal to expand the EWG resources you depend on to protect your health – from Skin Deep® to the Dirty Dozen™.

As of this morning, we’re not where we need to be. Can you make a donation now to get us back on track? Your gift will be matched by a generous donor if you give by midnight tonight.

Here’s where we stand – take a look:

EWG Fundraising - Giving Tuesday 2025
Updated as of 12/2/2025, 6:48 a.m.
 
 
GOAL
$100,000.00
RAISED
$14,321.37
REMAINING
$85,768.63

We are witnessing an unprecedented systematic dismantling of environmental protections that keep our communities healthy. The pattern of favoring corporate interests over people is clear, and we must prepare for more of the same.

For over 30 years, EWG has fought to protect your health and the health of every family. We’ve never backed down from that mission, and we won’t start now. But as a nonprofit, we can’t accomplish our goals without supporters like you, friend. Your support is what will make our 2026 work possible.

Will you help us get back on track this Giving Tuesday? A gift of just $15, $25 or more today, matched, would make a difference.

This is the worst year for us to fail to hit our goal. There’s so much important work left for us to do:

 
 
• 
Block efforts to override state and local laws that protect communities, particularly children, from toxic pesticides and harmful food chemicals.
• 
Expand our efforts in states like California, New York and Pennsylvania to support them as they lead where the federal government won’t, on key protections for our food and consumer products.
• 
Conduct independent research and publish consumer guides that reveal the chemicals in our food, water and products – and give families tools to protect themselves.
 
 

Thank you for backing EWG in the past. Your renewed gift today puts you right back in the fight with thousands of others who believe in protecting public health, defending the environment, and standing up for science when it matters most.

As an added thanks, if you donate $110 or more (a $25 discount!), we will send you our 2025 Holiday Gift Box – a discount only for Giving Tuesday supporters.

It only takes a minute to send your tax-deductible donation of $15, $25 or more to EWG today, in support of your health and the environment. Your gift today will be MATCHED, so you’ll make TWICE the impact in this when it is so urgently needed.

As one of the team members tracking gifts at EWG today, I can let you know that every single donation helps. By making your Giving Tuesday donation today, you’re taking a stand for what matters. Thank you.

Best,

Casey Dumasius
Director of Digital Marketing, EWG

P.S. Just a reminder: When you give $110 or more today (a $25 discount!), we will send you a gift box – a discount only for Giving Tuesday supporters.
