John - just checking in to make sure you saw Sam's message below about today's $3-for-$1 match on the first $250,000 donated.

Since November, EDF members have already contributed nearly $2.5 million to our Year-End campaign - an awe-inspiring demonstration of just how much you care about protecting our environment.

But we’re still more than $1 million short of our $3.5 million goal - and the earlier you make your contribution, the better shot we have at getting there.

So please, don’t wait until Friday - make your year-end contribution now. Your gift of any size will be matched $3-for-$1, and if you start an automatic monthly gift today, it’ll earn that match every month for a full year.

Thank you so much for anything you can contribute!

- Emily

Our match sponsors are offering an extra $1 match on the first $250,000 donated today.

Don’t miss out again! Please make your year-end gift now to unlock not $2, but $3 with every $1 you give!

If we reach our goal before midnight, your gifts together with matching funds will be worth $1 million for bold climate action!

We can’t afford to fall short of our goal, because we’re pulling out all the stops with ambitious goals for 2022. Our top priorities are:

• Slashing methane pollution from the oil and gas sector - the fastest, most cost-effective way to slow global warming in the near term,
• Cutting carbon pollution from transportation and our energy system, and
• Harnessing the power of nature to protect our communities against ever-increasing climate-related threats.

We’re in a race against time – which means big, bold progress is our only option.

It won’t be easy. But with the combined power of 2.5 million EDF members and activists standing together, I know we can win the race and secure a safer climate future.

If you typically wait until December 31 to make your year-end gift, you’re not alone. So many donors wait, in fact, that we often can’t be sure whether we’ll meet our goal until the final hours of the year - too late to make up any deficit if we find ourselves running behind.

That’s why our match sponsors are offering a bigger, better match to encourage EDF members like you to donate today.

Please make a year-end gift now, and it will be matched $3 for $1 to make sure we leave future generations a world in which all living creatures can thrive.

Thank you for seizing this moment,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership

P.S. This rare $3-for-$1 match opportunity will be gone soon, so please don’t miss your chance. Donate now to maximize your impact (and have one less thing on your end-of-year to-do list!).
