Dear [Name],
This year, Giving Tuesday is on December 3, and I am proud to be supporting the National Geographic Society in advancing their mission to illuminate and protect the wonder of the world. Since 1888, the National Geographic Society has invested in a global community of Explorers working around the world to solve some of the most pressing challenges facing our world. From working to end human-wildlife conflict and habitat loss, to helping to stop the decline of biodiversity in some of the most important ecosystems on the planet, our Explorers are carrying out important conservation work, but there is still so much work to be done.
Will you join me to help create a lasting legacy for our planet?
This Giving Tuesday, join me in showing your support for National Geographic Explorers and help protect critical ecosystems.
Here is how you can make an impact this Giving Tuesday:
- Make a donation to the National Geographic Society to help Explorers protect critical ecosystems! 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting Explorers and mission programs.
- Share on social media and with your network so that they can feel inspired to support the Society, too.
Thanks for supporting the National Geographic Society,
