John: I’m writing to bump Brian’s morning email to the top of your inbox with a quick update.
Ceres supporters have seized this matching gift challenge, leaving $43,213 to raise by midnight tomorrow, when we close our fiscal year. The work ahead relies on our success; relies on you.
John, you’ve seen the news, you know the stats, and you’ve likely heard the grim upshot from the IPCC’s recent report.
I’m writing, nevertheless, with optimism—because Ceres engages investors, regulators and policymakers, head-on to reduce climate pollution and quicken the pace toward a net zero emissions economy. And our unique approach works across entire sectors to yield real results.
Consider our recently launched AgWater Challenge, which secured commitments from companies that led to plans to farm 10 million hectares of land more sustainably—a major victory for water and soil.
Outcomes like these show what we’re capable of when we work together, with a broad team behind us. And John, that’s why we must hit our matching gift target.
This double gift opportunity is expiring soon, and we can’t afford to leave a single penny of this match on the table … to let this chance for our planet slip away.

P.S. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that next week, Ceres will be at COP26—the U.N. climate talks—in Glasgow to convene business allies and make an economic case for worldwide climate policy. This is the type of work, influencing decisions at the highest level of international governance, that your matched gift accelerates.
