Giving Tuesday Link-Up


For Giving Tuesday I’m featuring the following organizations I both love and trust. Several have double-your-donation events going on today! Giving even a little means a whole lot.

  • Audubon Society
    Together, we can protect birds like the Sandhill Crane from the havoc that an oil spill would wreak on their Arctic summer home—an imminent possibility now that the administration has gained ground towards turning this wild region into an oil field. On terrain already compromised by global warming, the impacts would be profound. And birds like this majestic crane would dwindle.

    With your support, we’ll fight for science-backed solutions to climate change—the biggest threat birds face, one that could push nearly 150 species to the brink of extinction. We’ll also counter every move to drill in important habitats, and vigilantly protect fragile areas already under development.

  • Cornell Lab of Ornithology
    #GivingTuesday represents one of the biggest opportunities for our Lab to fund its critical conservation initiatives around the globe.

    Our team works each and every day to conduct research, gather data, and make connections to better understand birds and wildlife to help protect our planet.

    But, we can’t do it without your help. Your gift to the Cornell Lab will go to work immediately — sending scientists into the field, enabling remarkable discoveries, fostering innovative technology to advance conservation, and so much more.

  • NRDC
    This #GivingTuesday, we have a chance to come together to protect this magnificent planet and the people and wildlife that call it home. Join me in supporting @NRDC and their work to protect our environment.
  • National Forest Foundation
    Across the country our National Forests and Grasslands give us so much: clean water, fresh air and unlimited memorable moments. Let’s take this #GivingTuesday and give back.

    Last year on #GivingTuesday, we challenged our supporters to raise at least $5,000 to be matched for a total of $10,000. We were thrilled to surpass that goal and raise more than $12,000 for our National Forests on one day. This year, we hope to double our goal. Thanks to a generous donor, all gifts made today will be matched up to $10,000 for our National Forests and Grasslands. Together with your support and the match, we hope to raise more than $20,000.

    We invite you to give generously to these special places and help restore them for future generations.

  • National Park Foundation
    Your #GivingTuesday contribution will help the National Park Foundation ensure the preservation of America’s national parks for generations to come. Together with the support from our partner, HanesBrands, your gift will have a tremendous impact on our efforts to protect our parks, connect more Americans to our national treasures, and inspire a new generation of national park enthusiasts!
  • The Sierra Club
    It’s #GivingTuesday & #TeamSierra is trying to raise $50,000 today to give people the gift of clean drinking water, breathable air, & a healthy planet. We need your help!
  • Wilderness Watch
    Supporters like you propel us forward. For nearly 30 years, people like you have helped us keep our irreplaceable Wilderness areas wild. Please join us today on Giving Tuesday and give a gift for Wilderness, so together we can continue this important work.

    Wilderness Watch is leading the fight against legislation that would destroy Wilderness on our nation’s borders, open all Wilderness to bikes and other machines, and gut the Wilderness Act.

    Today—on Giving Tuesday—please support our ongoing work to keep Wilderness—from Alaska to Florida, Maine to California—wild and free. We will never give up, and we need your support more than ever.
