Dear «FIRST_NAME»,
You believe in a future where everyone has access to clean, reliable energy and nutritious food, where
environmentally sound jobs are growing worldwide, and where cultures are shifting from consumerism to
sustainability.
Thanks to you, we are closer to making this future a reality.
While grants and foundations cover our project costs, we rely on the support of donors like you to make sure
that our vision and research continue to reach changemakers. That’s why your donation of $«AMOUNT»,
received on «GIFT_DATE», is so appreciated. We can’t thank you enough.
Your support allows us to continue our 42-year legacy of accelerating the transition to a sustainable world. In
early May, we will be releasing the newest edition of our flagship publication: State of the World 2016: Can a
City be Sustainable? In addition, last year we published State of the World 2015: Confronting Hidden Threats
to Sustainability, as well as Vital Signs: The Trends That Are Shaping Our Future, Vol. 22. We also recently
presented a comprehensive Sustainable Energy Roadmap to government leaders in the Caribbean. These are
the kinds of solutions you can expect when you support the Worldwatch Institute.
But we can’t stop here. We still have big challenges to address. That’s why we are asking:
 Can animal farming be brought into balance with natural systems?
 What will a sustainable energy future look like for Belize?
 Do global investments in family planning services improve environmental trends?
Thanks to your donation, we can keep working to ensure that these questions get fact-based, solutions-oriented
answers.
Please get in touch with me if you have questions regarding your gift or our programs. You can also learn
more about our exciting work by subscribing to our monthly e-newsletter at www.worldwatch.org. Feelfree to
pass along my information if you have any friends or neighbors who would like to learn more about our work.
Thank you again for your generosity and support!
