Dear friend,

Before you head out for New Year’s Eve (or maybe you are hunkering down like I am), I wanted to give you a quick update about where we stand on EWG’s 2022 budget.

We are still very short – $36,887 – of our yearly fundraising goal and absolutely need to raise $4,098 every hour between now and midnight to continue fighting to get toxic chemicals out of your water, food and environment.

I hate to ask, since you have already done so much for EWG during a very, very challenging year. But I know we can make up this deficit tonight if everyone reading this email chips in.

Can I count on you to help us hit this hour’s goal ($4,098)? Your gift will be MATCHED by a generous donor, which means it will go twice as far. $10 becomes $20, $25 becomes $50, and $50 becomes $100.

More than 70 percent of EWG’s revenue comes from individuals like you: Please, take the next step and make your first gift to EWG tonight. There’s no more critical time.

In the 29 years since we started EWG, our team has fought tirelessly for your right to know about the toxic chemicals in the products you use, the food you eat and the water you drink.

We do this because we believe we have a moral obligation to defend the right of Americans to live a healthier life in a healthier environment.

We’re up against some serious challenges: the ongoing pandemic, the prevalence of PFAS chemicals in our environment and the slow pace of change in Washington. But EWG is resolved to stand our ground and protect your health – and we have big plans for 2022.

And those plans take financial resources. You, friend, are part of our plan for 2022. Your voice and support gives us the power we need to make change. And with nine hours to go before midnight, EWG needs your support more than ever before. Please, if you can, donate now.

Thanks for your support, and please stay safe and healthy this New Year’s Eve!

President and Co-founder, EWG
