Make a recurring pledge today.

We have just been offered an incredible opportunity. Worldchanging has been challenged to raise $10,000 in recurring reader pledges by May 15, 2009. If we do, our challenger will support Worldchanging with a $100,000 grant.

This is one of the most important gifts Worldchanging has ever been offered, and we need your support to get it.

We know you want a sustainable future. You know that Worldchanging is a small, frugal nonprofit that does award-winning work exploring the best innovations for solving our most pressing planetary problems. Worldchanging.com's books, media interviews and public talks help advance innovations that make a bright green future possible. And now we're just about to launch into a year of our most important work yet.

That work will stop unless you help us weather the recession. Precisely because we've been such an entrepreneurial nonprofit, earning most of the money to do our work, we have been hit hard by the economic downturn. If we're going to continue, we need your continued support to get us back on solid ground. As a token of our appreciation, we're offering a few exclusive gifts, described below.

We hope we can count on you to help us meet this one-of-a-kind challenge.

Thank you for your contribution.

Sincerely,

Alex Steffen and the Worldchanging Team
