We’re about to close the books on our fiscal year here at EDF. We’ve got a lot to celebrate from the last 12 months, but unfortunately, we’re still $48,894 short of meeting our fundraising goal for the fiscal year. 
Help Us Close the Gap
| | | We’re about to close the books on our fiscal year here at EDF. We’ve got a lot to celebrate from the last 12 months, but unfortunately, we’re still $48,894 short of meeting our fundraising goal for the fiscal year.
Will you make your first online gift to help us get there before our finance department closes the books at midnight?
Thanks to your activism, we’ve seen a lot to be happy about in the last year. Here’s just a few of the most important victories your advocacy made possible:
- In November, we helped California launch the largest economy-wide cap-and-trade program in the world—and we’ve spent the last year successfully defending it from legal attacks.
- In June, President Obama unveiled his plan to reduce pollution from America's power plants—the single largest source of carbon pollution in the U.S., accounting for 40% of emissions. EDF activists sent more than 150,000 messages to Congress urging their legislators to support the President’s plan.
- In July, after months of partisan bickering and obstruction, Gina McCarthy was finally confirmed by the Senate to head the EPA. The nearly 200,000 messages sent to Congress by EDF activists played a critical role in breaking through the gridlock.
- And just this month, the McCarthy-led EPA proposed the first-ever federal carbon pollution standards for new fossil fuel power plants—and is expected to propose rules for existing power plants in early 2014.
To keep making progress in the coming year, it’s important that we have the funding to keep the heat on. And if you chip in today with a gift of $25 or more, we’ll send you a free gift as our way of saying thanks—an EDF-branded tote bag so you can proudly show off your supporter status!
Yours with any gift of $25 or more!
We’re so grateful to have had you with us as we celebrated each of these victories. We have our work cut out for us in 2014, as Congress prepares for midterm elections and the EPA gets serious about cutting pollution from power plants.
But each new fight is also a new opportunity—to craft innovative solutions that benefit our planet and all of us who call it home. By making your first online donation to EDF today, you’ll be putting us in the best possible position to add more historic victories to our list.
Thank you for standing with us this year and in the years to come.
 Sincerely,
Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership
P.S. Our fiscal year ends tonight. In order to close our revenue shortfall for the current year, we must receive your gift by midnight!
