Dear friend,

I need to be honest with you: With hours to go, EWG risks falling short of our 2025 fundraising goals (take a look at the spreadsheet below). What happens between now and midnight will determine how much we can do in 2026 to protect you from toxic chemicals.

You have stood with EWG before and made a real difference. That’s why I’m reaching out now. When I checked our records this morning, I didn’t see your year-end matched gift. (My apologies if I missed it.)

The year ends at midnight, and with it, our chance to close this gap. Please make a tax-deductible gift right now. Every donation is matched dollar for dollar, doubling its impact. We're counting on about 250 supporters to step up before time runs out.

Our goal is within reach, but only if people like you invest in this mission today. Here’s where things stand right now:

This is the worst year possible for us to fall short. Missing our midnight goal would mean starting 2026 behind – with fewer resources at a time when our mission demands more, since protections for public health are under increasing threat.

Your matched gift today directly fuels our ability to hit the ground running on January 1st. It powers the fight to defend state laws that protect children from harmful food chemicals, push back against industry attacks and deliver the independent research and consumer guides families rely on.

For over 30 years, EWG has never backed down. But as a nonprofit, we can’t do this work without supporters like you. Will you help us get back on track before the clock runs out?

Please join us and double your impact now with a matched, tax-deductible donation.

Thank you for being part of this work.
