Dear Supporter,

I know you don't often hear from me, but I just got an update from the team. With only 1 day left to make our budget goals for 2021, I'll be honest: we have a lot of ground to make up.

The last few days of the year are critical to how hard we can fight next year. I'm responsible for managing Sierra Club's finances and budget, and I know the consequences of not making our goals and compromising what we can fund next year and into the future.

So please, if you are able, I hope that you can dig deep and renew your commitment to protecting our planet and building a sustainable future for all with your year-end gift today. Every dollar you give will be MATCHED 5x up to $600,000. Not only that, you'll get our best-selling Eco-Chic Reusable Bag Set FREE.

We are so grateful for our community of supporters — for every signed petition, phone call into Congress, conversation with a loved one about the future of our planet. But along with other organizations in the progressive space, we've seen a drop in donations this year.

It's not surprising: it has happened before, and we know things are extraordinarily tough for families right now. But the reality is that we are still up against the well-financed fossil fuel industry, and our opponents are fundraising at an alarming pace ahead of the midterm elections.

The generosity of the Sierra Club community during previous year-end campaigns is what helped make our victories possible: suspending new Arctic leasing (which is still on the table), ending Keystone XL, restoring protections for the Tongass, and so much more.

We can't get complacent. I know it's been a long year, but we have seen what happens when we think things are taken care of in DC and ease up even a little bit. Plus, we are still in a race against time to avert the worst of the climate and biodiversity crises. So, if you are in a position to do so, I'm asking: please support our year-end campaign with your gift today and help us fight for our planet now and pass on a better world for future generations. You'll also get our Eco-Chic Bag Set absolutely FREE.

I'm truly grateful for every dollar that comes in — because I know that behind every dollar is a person who is trusting us to fight on your and our planet's behalf. All of us at Sierra Club take that responsibility seriously.

Thank you for all you do,

Adrienne Frazier
Senior Director of Finance
