Hi John -

Our Spring Member Drive ends in just two days, and we've nearly reached our goal of recruiting 365 new monthly donors during the campaign... but we're still missing YOU!

If you've ever wondered whether your support can really make a difference, I hope the 2021 impact report we shared earlier this week (in the message below) makes clear just how much it does.

The difference you make is plain to see. EDF members are creating lasting change for a better environmental future - with clean air, clean water, safer chemicals and a more livable climate for our communities. 

The most effective way to keep the momentum for environmental progress going is with an automatic monthly gift to EDF.

Just $5 each month can really adds up - especially now, when your first 12 gifts will be matched $1 for $1 by the Wilson Charitable Trust, doubling your impact for your first full year as an Eco Partner monthly donor.

And the more you give, the more matching dollars you'll unlock - and the more environmental victories we can achieve together.

So please take a moment to review your 2021 impact report if you haven't already, and when you're ready to take the next step, head to our Spring Member Drive donation form to start your new monthly gift.

Thank you for everything you make possible!

Manager, Online Membership

In 2021, you helped make major strides towards a healthier, more vital Earth for everyone.

As we wrap up our Spring Member Drive this week, I hope you'll take a few moments to browse your 2021 member impact report and learn more about the progress you make possible as a member.

Inside the report, you’ll meet people people affected by extreme weather events, made worse by climate change -- areas ravaged by storms, in the drought-stricken Western U.S., and in communities harmed the most by past pollution, and learn how your donations and advocacy helped make a difference last year.

You’ll learn how EDF members like you are helping farmers and fishing communities thrive, even as the effects of climate change become more and more severe. 

You’ll read testimonials and stories from the friends and allies we worked with to strengthen the ability of forests, coastal wetlands and other ecosystems to survive in the face of growing climate threats.

And you’ll hear how the EDF Action Network ⎼ that’s YOU and your 2.5 million fellow members and activists! ⎼ are speeding the transition to a global clean energy economy with NO net climate pollution.

Dive into your 2021 Impact Report now to see the difference you make as an EDF member.

John, you ⎼ and every EDF member ⎼ have our deepest thanks for everything you do to make this kind of progress possible. 

Thank you for all your support,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership

P.S. Last year, we saw extreme weather events driving a new sense of urgency in people everywhere to do more to fight climate change. New urgency comes with opportunity - and it’s up to us to seize the moment. If you’re ready to play a major role in unleashing the clean energy future we deserve, please start a monthly gift of $5 or more during our Spring Member Drive. It’s the easiest and most effective way to support more successes like the ones detailed in your 2021 impact report.
