Still considering whether to give? That’s okay, too—and with so many worthy causes doubtlessly hitting your inbox, I thought that might be the case.
As Ceres’ Chief Financial Officer, I know exactly the import, and impact, of your support.
I hope you’ll take a moment to consider this brief Top 5 list of reasons to choose a year-end gift to Ceres.
-
With a president focused on the climate and effective COVID-19 vaccines, we have an opportunity in 2021 to build our economy back—better, and create a more sustainable, just future. (But it takes your partnership, John).
-
75% of our support comes from private philanthropy. That means what we can accomplish in 2021 hinges on you.
-
We will steward your gift with the utmost efficiency and transparency—that’s why we boast top ratings from Charity Navigator, GuideStar, and GreatNonprofits alike.
-
We make a business case that can convince even the largest companies and investors that sustainability is the bottom line. That’s impact made at scale—and quickly.
-
Thanks to the CARES Act, charitable giving tax deductions are more generous this year, including allowing people who don’t otherwise itemize their taxes to deduct up to $300 in charitable gifts.
John, I’ll leave you with this:
What we raise in these final days of 2020 determines how hard we can work for our climate in 2021. Double your impact now >>
Please. Invest in a habitable planet. In a bright future. In equity, health, and prosperity—now and for generations to come.
Gratefully, |

P.S. Need one more reason? Last week President-elect Biden named Ceres board member Gina McCarthy as his National Climate Adviser. With Gina as climate czar, the U.S. will be able to help right the ship as it begins its journey back to improving its standing in the world as a climate leader. Seize this chance to double your impact — and investment in our future — with a gift now → |
