Hey NRDC Activist,

You know the danger our planet is facing. You know the Trump administration's attacks on our environmental protections are escalating... and how devastating the consequences could be.

But here's something you may not know: This 5X match is rare, and it's perfectly timed to meet the crisis we're facing.

If you haven't had a chance to respond yet, there's still time to make your 5X matched gift, up to $515,000, and join the movement that's defending our climate, wildlife, and communities across the country in 2026.

Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.

MATCH MY GIFT

NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) Year-End Drive

Dear NRDC Supporter,

I wanted to share this news with you first:

Starting now, your gift to NRDC will be matched 5X, up to $515,000 — the largest match offer of the year.

Donate before midnight tomorrow and make 5X the impact to defend our environment in 2026.

We are facing extraordinary challenges in the year ahead — challenges that will shape the planet our children will inherit.

Bedrock protections for endangered species… about to be stripped away. California's pristine coastline… at risk of being opened to new offshore drilling for the first time in 40 years. The EPA's authority to regulate climate pollution… targeted for elimination. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge… at risk of being auctioned off to oil corporations.

This barely scratches the surface of what the Trump administration plans to do.

But here is the truth I want you to carry with you: our greatest strength has always come from what we do together.

No single person can stop these attacks alone. But when millions of people stand united behind science, the law, and a shared belief in a livable future, we become a force powerful enough to hold the line.

But it's going to take each of us doing our part:

Will you join NRDC to make a 5X matched gift right now? Your gift will make FIVE TIMES the impact to protect the planet our children will inherit.

The proof of our collective strength is undeniable.

We won nearly 9 out of 10 resolved cases against the first Trump administration. This year, we've already filed 26 cases against his second administration — and in recent months, our team has been working at an extraordinary pace, averaging one new case every week.

And we're winning: this September, with support from NRDC members, we pushed the government to ban seafood imports from over 40 countries killing whales and dolphins — the first large-scale enforcement of long-ignored provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in decades.

YOU make victories like this possible. You — alongside NRDC's 3 million other supporters — give us the resources, the legal standing, and the resolve to confront powerful interests in court and defend the environment we all depend on.

Your gift — matched 5X until midnight tomorrow — powers NRDC's team of lawyers, scientists, and policy experts who work day in and day out to defend our environment.

Together, we turn lawsuits into lasting protections.
Together, we stop destructive projects before they break ground.
Together, we defend the wild places and wildlife we cherish.

Thank you for your commitment, your courage, and your partnership in this work. We will meet this moment — together.

Manish Bapna
President, NRDC
