John,

We're running out of time to unlock $100,000 in matching funds to help save the bees.

Unfortunately, with that year-end deadline looming at the end of the day today, we're still short and need one final push to meet our goal.

You can double your impact for the bees by donating before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.

Will you donate to help tackle bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides? If you give before midnight tonight, your gift will be matched, up to $100,000 nationwide.

You know what's at stake if we don't crack down on bee-killing pesticides.

Wild bee species like the rusty patched bumblebee are teetering on the brink of extinction.1 Beekeepers are reporting the worst losses they've ever seen.2 And without bees, our entire global food supply is at risk, as bees pollinate many of our most important food crops.3

We've come a long way since we launched this campaign. Hundreds of people have contributed some amount to bring us to within reach of our goal.

But we need a significant influx of donations on this final day to make it, and according to our records, we still haven't received your year-end contribution.

Once again, all donations will be matched, but this offer ends tonight at midnight.

With the bees facing such urgent danger, we need as many people to join our hive as possible.

Donate to help save the bees. All donations received by midnight tonight will be matched.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery

Your donation will be used to support all of our campaigns to protect the environment, from saving the bees and protecting public lands, to standing up for clean water and fighting climate change. None of our work would be possible without supporters like you. Environment Colorado may transfer up to $50 per dues-paying member per year into the Environment Colorado Small Donor Committee.
