There are just a few hours left, John, so I’ll keep this brief -

Giving Tuesday is almost over, and time is running out for you to unlock a $3-for-$1 match on your Year End gift.

Any size gift makes an especially big difference today, thanks to our generous match sponsors’ generous Giving Tuesday bonus match.

Your Giving Tuesday contribution will provide much-needed funding for all our Climate Action Plan priorities - from slashing pollution to reduce the climate threat as much as we can, to helping frontline communities deal with the threats we can no longer avoid.

Please take advantage of this limited-time offer before it disappears at midnight, and be as generous as you can.

Thank you in advance,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership

Right now, millions of caring people around the world are coming together to celebrate Giving Tuesday by contributing to organizations who share their vision of a better future.

EDF's year-end match sponsors are stepping up to offer a special Giving Tuesday bonus match through midnight tonight. That means today is the best day to donate and maximize your impact!

Please donate now and help us reach our twin goals of raising $250,000 for our 2022 Climate Action Plan and and recruiting 500 monthly donors!

Tip: Make the biggest impact by choosing to give monthly. Your gift will be matched $3 for $1 every month for a full year.

There has never been a more critical time for climate action. Scientists project that if every nation honors their recent climate commitments, we could limit warming to just 1.8 degrees (F).

Make no mistake: This is a Code Red moment and every fraction of a degree matters.

According to a recent analysis by the Washington Post, nearly 1 in 3 U.S. residents live in a county that was hit by an extreme weather disaster this summer. 

Even those of us who escaped disaster felt the heat - literally - from the multi-day, deadly heat waves that affected 2 in 3 of us.

John, your Giving Tuesday gift will meet the urgency of this moment by supplying critical funding for EDF’s 3-prong plan to:

1. Slashing methane pollution from the oil and gas sector - the single fastest, most cost-effective way to slow global warming in the near term,
2. Cutting carbon pollution from transportation and electricity, and
3. Harnessing the power of nature to protect our communities from an ever-increasing range of climate-related threats.

Please donate or start a monthly gift before midnight tonight to earn the biggest matching gift possible this season – not $2, but $3 for every $1 you donate. (And don’t forget: Monthly gifts will be matched for a full year!)
 
A clean, healthy world gives us so much. Thank you for giving back.

Happy Giving Tuesday,
 
Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership
