There are many options to show your financial support for clean energy!

 

Donating is as easy as clicking here.

To serve you better, EESI has switched to a new donation processing system! In the past, your initial thanks and your tax receipts came from Network for Good, our former processor. As EESI has grown, we’ve switched to a new system (powered by Soapbox Engage) that is more efficient for EESI and good for you, too. You’ll receive our thanks and your tax receipt right away, directly from EESI (eesi@eesi.org). If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to be in touch at any time: 202-662-1887.
 

Sustaining Partners are monthly donors who make climate change a priority in their giving year round. Many people choose to make giving for climate change part of their monthly spending, which allows EESI to plan more thoughtfully. And, you’ll receive quarterly(ish) “Climate Policy Insider” emails. These updates will cover all the climate policy goings-on in Washington, D.C., and feature examples of how you are helping make a positive impact. This is a benefit that recent survey respondents identified as highly desired. 

Our promise to you: A monthly donor can cancel at any time. 


You can easily and securely set up a monthly gift online by clicking here

Or if you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can set up a monthly recurring gift through your charitable account there (check with your provider for confirmation).

 

A gift of $1,000, $2,000, or more will make you a Friend of EESI—an especially important part of the EESI family. 

You will receive:

  • Recordings of our special climate policy updates with me, for those unable to join at the time of the session. We organize a few of these donor-exclusive, online-only discussions three or so times a year by Zoom. We just had one a little over a week ago, and it was a really great conversation. I know you will enjoy being able to join us live or at a time that works for you and your schedule.
     
  • The much-requested Climate Policy Insider emails.

 

Members of the Climate Solutions Society—those who make climate solutions a priority in their philanthropy at the $5,000 level or above—are most crucial partners in enabling the huge resources needed to rapidly address climate change.

Ask your human resources department if you can contribute to EESI through convenient, budget-friendly payroll deductions. Most private-sector employers and state, local, and federal government employers offer workplace giving as an option—and an employee benefit! If you are a federal employee, federal or military retiree, or member of the military, you can designate EESI for a contribution through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Our CFC number is 10627. EESI is a member of Earth Share, a workplace-giving federation for environmental nonprofits such as EESI.

 

Ask your employer if it matches charitable donations. You may be able to easily double the impact of your gift. Today, over 65% of Fortune 500 companies (and many others!) offer matching programs to employees, including:

Amazon Coca Cola Google Salesforce.com
Apple Dell IBM Target Corp
AT&T  Ford Microsoft Verizon
Bank of America General Electric PepsiCo Wells Fargo
