Dear John,

As a subscriber to the weekly WRI Digest, you understand the importance of WRI’s work – it’s why you are part of this engaged community that is committed to ensuring people and nature can thrive. I know you also understand the need to uphold the causes that matter to you. Today is Giving Tuesday and you have an opportunity to give back and do your part to help turn research into action.

I always look forward to sharing the WRI Digest with you every week. Each issue is packed with the latest research and insights from our experts. You receive unique analyses and access to maps and data that can help create system-wide change to build a more sustainable world. This work has never been more critical – especially as we look to help recover and reset from the global pandemic.   

We simply cannot do this without you. As a global nonprofit, WRI relies on the generosity of donors to fuel our work. When you give, you enable us to tackle some of the world’s most urgent challenges.



Here are some of the ways you give when you donate to WRI. 

GIVE SOLUTIONS
WRI conducts rigorous research and data analysis, implements on-the-ground projects, and mobilizes coalitions to provide solutions and create a more equitable and sustainable future for people and nature.

GIVE OPPORTUNITY
We know that we can tackle environmental challenges, enact low-carbon growth solutions and have economic growth. As governments work to recover from the pandemic and subsequent economic fallout, WRI is well-positioned to help policymakers, business leaders and others to build back better.

GIVE TRANSPARENCY
We invest in dynamic research and best-in-class open-source data tools to identify solutions, increase transparency and provide effective, actionable recommendations for government leaders, the private sector, and civil society. Our commitment to transparency doesn’t stop at our research – WRI repeatedly earns top-ratings from charity evaluators.

GIVE HOPE
By convening global partners and building coalitions to advance on-the-ground work, WRI can scale our impact and affect change. This work comes to life through projects such as helping donors and community groups grow trees the right way, helping cities enter the renewable energy market to cut GHG emissions, helping countries ensure their COVID-19 responses invest in rural women and empower them as part of long-term resilience. 

On this global day of giving, please consider standing with WRI so we can continue to tackle these pressing challenges. We cannot delay this important work and we cannot do it without your support.

With thanks,

Lawrence MacDonald
