Dear friend,

With just hours left until midnight, I want to be transparent on where EWG stands.

We’re still $31,525 short of our year-end goal. That means we need to raise about $3,900 an hour between now and 11:59 p.m.

This isn’t just about closing a budget gap.

We’re entering a moment where industry influence is accelerating, protections families rely on are being weakened and independent scientists are being sidelined. When the guardrails come off, families face more toxic chemicals in food, water and everyday products – with less transparency and accountability.

That’s why our fundraising goal is real. And why this feels like one of the most important moments in EWG’s history.

If you’re reading this now, can you help us meet this hour’s goal (about $3,900) with a quick gift?

EWG’s 2026 work is ambitious: Tackling toxic pesticides, PFAS contamination, harmful food chemicals and additives, and chemicals in drinking water. But we can only move as fast as our resources allow. That’s why we depend on people like you to stay independent and push back when powerful interests try to rewrite the rules.

Please donate right now. Remember, every gift before midnight will be MATCHED, doubling your impact.

Click here to rush a tax-deductible donation to EWG before our midnight deadline.

I know it’s New Year’s Eve and your inbox is packed. I’m asking anyway because this is the moment when a small number of last-minute gifts will decide what we’re able to take on next year.

Thank you for standing with EWG and for investing in your family’s health and safety.

Happy New Year,

Maura Walsh
Executive Vice President of Marketing & Communications, EWG
