Dear John,

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is live!

This week Population Matters is raising funds for its 30th Anniversary Appeal - the final push to achieve our £100,000 target by the end of the year - and giving you the chance to have your donation doubled.

As part of The Big Give Christmas Challenge, we have secured matched-funds totalling £5,750 from five of Population Matters' brilliant supporters, and want to add twice that amount to our anniversary appeal by the end of the week. Please can you help us match our pledgers' generosity?

The Christmas Challenge runs from today until* 12 noon on Tuesday 7 December, when your donation will have twice the impact at no additional cost to you. Please support us from just £1 using the link below, and your donation will be doubled*!

ONE DONATION, TWICE THE IMPACT

Why give?

Population Matters is the only charity in the UK campaigning to achieve a sustainable human population, to protect the natural world and improve people’s lives. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to reduce excessive consumption and helping us all to live within our planet’s natural limits.

Your gift will be doubled by our generous pledgers to help spread the word that making more sustainable choices, including choosing a smaller family where possible, is vital to making a better future possible for everyone – every person and every other being on our shared planet.

Globally around 270 million women have an unmet need for modern contraception, most of whom live in poorer countries. On the flip side, in the richest parts of the world consumption, resource use and carbon emissions per person are far greater. Despite such inequality and clear scientific evidence of per person impact, global governments have plans to fix the climate crisis that exclude population growth as a driver, and women's empowerment and access to family planning as a solution.

Your gift will be doubled by our generous pledgers to help catalyse action to empower vulnerable communities across the world (especially disadvantaged women and girls) and help spread the word that the choice to have a smaller family can ensure a better future for the generations that follow.

ONE DONATION, TWICE THE IMPACT

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s largest match funding campaign. Last year, thanks to generous supporters like you, the campaign raised over £20 million for participating charities. This year, donations will be matched pound for pound for 7 days*, until 12 noon GMT on Tuesday 7 December.

Please consider supporting Population Matters' 30th Anniversary Appeal via The Big Give on this #GivingTuesday and make a better future possible for people and planet.

Thank you,

Izi Clery
Fundraising Manager

*or until we reach our matched-funding target of £5,750, raising £11,500 in total towards our appeal. You can still donate after we reach our target, your gift just won't be matched.
