Toolkit #9 - Giving Back: A Year-End Call to Action

As we approach the end of 2024, now is the perfect time to consider investing in a sustainable future.

By supporting organizations that protect the environment, you're not just making a donation – you're investing in a healthier planet for yourself, your family, and future generations.

Plus, with generous year-end matching gifts, your impact will be amplified significantly. This is a win-win for both the environment and your wallet.

To make things easy, here are a few amazing organizations to consider for your year-end giving:

• Trust for Public Lands: Protecting our parks, trails, and public lands is crucial for our well-being and the health of our planet. Right now, every donation is matched FIVE times, up to $250,000.

• Oceana: Combatting plastic pollution is critical for the health of our oceans and the planet. Donate to Oceana's efforts to stop plastic pollution at the source, and your impact will be doubled.

• SeaTrees: Restoring vital marine ecosystems is essential for fighting climate change. Support SeaTrees and help protect our planet. Plus, Sonos is matching all donations up to $10,000!

These organizations are making a real difference in the fight for a sustainable future, and your support NOW can help them achieve even greater impact.
