John, as you well know, 2020 ends in a matter of days. You probably have an overwhelming number of emails flooding your inbox with all the things you should do before the year closes. Thank you for taking the time to read my email.
I’m writing today to ask for your urgent, year-end support.
As we close this most extraordinary and difficult year, your gift will help ensure that Ceres has the resources we will need in 2021 to address climate change and our biggest sustainability challenges.
With a new U.S. president poised to assume leadership and a forthcoming vaccine for COVID-19, every single one of us has hope for a new, more sustainable era.
But we can’t take anything for granted. Progress for our planet, for our climate, requires us to work smarter.
At Ceres, we are redoubling our efforts on many fronts.
First, we are leveraging cutting-edge research and innovative tools to advance corporate leaders and push laggards across key industries.
Second, we are advocating in the halls of power for a climate-resilient economy.
Third, we are engaging investors and companies to help them embrace sustainability without delay.
A more just and sustainable world is within reach, John—we need your help to get there.
You drive our progress forward. Your support makes our work possible every step of the way.
With my deepest thanks and hope for a brighter 2021,
Susan Sayers
Chief Development Officer
Ceres
