Become a donating EDF member today

2020 may seem at times like it will last forever, but 2021 will be here sooner than you think.

In less than one week, EDF will close the books on our 2020 fiscal year, and you can help make sure we're in a strong position when we do.

How? By making your first online gift to EDF this week and become a donating member.

Special matching gift offer: The Wilson Charitable Trust will match your first gift to EDF $1-for-$1 when you donate $35 or more this week. Or, you can start a new Eco Partner monthly gift of just $5 or more per month, and double your impact for a full year’s worth of climate action.

Our goal is to welcome 300 new members in the final week of the month - that’s about 50 per day. 

Can we count on you to be one of the first to join? The first 150 new members to join between now and September 30 can request an insulated polar bear tote as a sign-up gift.

As an EDF member, you'll be in fine company. EDF members have always impressed me with their smarts and tenacity, rising to any and every challenge we ask your help tackling.

One of the more recent and unique examples of the ways EDF Members are stepping up is the amazing response we saw to our campaign to build a Misinformation Brigade.

We know one of the biggest challenges we’ve faced in the fight to secure climate action is the propaganda industry that has been built up and lavishly funded over the last quarter century to deny the science and generate confusion.

And these distortions are spreading across social media with increasing speed and spread. So last month, we launched a Misinformation Brigade to build a base of engaged and enlightened climate activists to expose and confront the lies. Nearly 5,000 of you signed up, greatly exceeding our initial estimates.

This is the kind of response we are so thankful for -- and gives us the opportunity to call out the anti-science propagandists.

Our members are one of EDF’s greatest strengths, and we couldn’t do any of this without your support.

So please, help make progress possible by being one of the first today to join EDF. 

As always, we’ll make sure your generous gift is used wisely, so you can be proud to know you personally helped to build a better future for people and wildlife.

Thank you for everything you do for a safer climate future,

Sam Parry
Director of Membership
