EDF Activist—
It’s almost time! Beginning at midnight tonight and lasting a full 24 hours, thousands of people across the country will celebrate #GivingTuesday by making donations to the causes that matter most to them.
Choose EDF for your #GivingTuesday donation this year and your gift will be matched $1-for-$1 by a current EDF member!
I hope you enjoyed a warm, joyous, and safe Thanksgiving, and found great deals on the gifts you give to your loved ones this time of year. And I hope you’ve also set something aside to make a special gift to the Earth tomorrow.
Your #GivingTuesday donation will fight climate change, protect vulnerable wildlife and their habitats, protect you and your loved ones safe from toxic pollution and harmful household chemicals, spur investment in clean and renewable energy technology, and so much more.
In the past 2 weeks, nearly 2,000 current EDF members donated $104,020 especially so that they could match your #GivingTuesday donations, $1-for-$1. And each of them left an inspiring personal message to be shared with you to encourage you to be as generous as possible.
Here’s what Anne Marie K. of Albion, MI had to say:
"I have no money to leave my children. What I can leave them is a sense of responsibility to the Earth and its inhabitants. My donation shows my commitment. If I were wealthy, I'd give lots and lots more."
Will you join Anne Marie in showing your commitment to a better world for generations to come by making your #GivingTuesday donation to EDF tomorrow?
Thank you for all your support,
Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership

Each year, after a day of giving thanks with our loved ones, we’re immediately plunged into a weekend of frenzied competition to get the best deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now, we have a new day to help make the world a better place and give something back.
It’s called #GivingTuesday. Last year, thousands of donors gave more than $10 million to charity on the Tuesday after the Thanksgiving weekend.
This year, EDF is participating and offering a special, one-day matching gift opportunity. Make a donation to EDF on #GivingTuesday and it will be matched, $1-for-$1, by a current EDF member!
Although #GivingTuesday is 7 days away, it’s not too early to join the movement by pledging to make a gift next Tuesday.
If you’re on Twitter, here are some suggested tweets you can share with your Twitter followers to inspire others to give with you:
