3x Match to Defend the Planet Our Children Will Inherit

The Trump administration is dismantling protections for our
public lands, wildlife, and climate at an alarming pace. Donate
by December 31 and your gift will be TRIPLED, up to $515,000, to
help NRDC fight back and defend our children's future.

MATCH MY GIFT ( [link removed] )

Dear NRDC Supporter,

Lately, I keep asking myself a question I know many parents
share:

"What kind of planet will my son and daughter inherit?"

This question feels especially urgent as the Trump
administration races to auction off the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge, attempts to resurrect the offshore oil and gas industry
in California, moves to dismantle endangered species protections,
and aggressively undermines clean energy progress — all for the
benefit of fossil fuel companies.

Our children are watching this unfold in real time. Their
future depends on what we choose to do next.

That's why NRDC is launching our largest match offer of the
year:

Donate to defend our air, water, and wildlife, and your
gift will be TRIPLE MATCHED up to $515,000 through December 31. ( [link removed] )

Recently, my daughter Laila told me something that stopped
me in my tracks: she doesn't want to sit back and let her future
be decided for her. Seeing what's happening to our planet has
made her determined to act.

She's 18, and her brother Arav is 15. They're old enough to
absorb what is happening to our planet, and to feel the weight of
it. So I tell them what I know to be true: we're building
something powerful together. A movement they can inherit — one
strong enough to defend their future.

I've seen the power of this movement firsthand. Together
with NRDC's 3 million supporters:

* We helped stop the Keystone XL pipeline.
* We secured protections that gave species like the gray wolf a
fighting chance.
* We helped force the removal of dangerous lead pipes in Flint,
MI.
* And time and again, we proved that even when the federal
government abandons its responsibility, we can hold the line.

Talking with my kids about the future reminded me that
they're growing up in a world shaped by the choices we make right
now — and that millions of people are choosing to act. That is
NRDC's greatest strength: a community united by purpose, powering
the science, advocacy, and legal action our children are counting
on.

And with your support, we will meet the challenges of 2026
head-on: protecting the fragile Arctic from the ravages of
industrialization, safeguarding our oceans from illegal drilling,
defending wildlife from habitat destruction, and confronting the
climate crisis for future generations.

But clarity and conviction alone don't win battles.
Resources do. Speed does. Staying power does. That's why this
year-end match matters so deeply.

Please donate now: Your gift will be TRIPLED to defend our
environment in 2026. ( [link removed] )

We are shaping a legacy that will long outlast us: clearer
skies, cleaner water, thriving wildlife, and protected lands to
pass on to our children and grandchildren. That legacy is only
possible because people like you choose to stand with us.

Thank you for helping to build a movement — and a world —
our children will inherit.

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna

President, NRDC

P.S. This is our last and largest match offer of 2025.
Every dollar you give will be tripled up to $515,000. Donate by
December 31. ( [link removed] )
