Friend—We’re making real progress toward our goal of adding 300 new Leaders this month, but the deadline is approaching fast and we still need 192 more people to step up. There’s still time to accept your special invitation to join the Leaders Club and provide us with critical resources we need to stand up for wildlife today and every day. If you become a monthly giver before midnight on June 16, we will match the impact of your gift for the first three months!

Your monthly gift is the backbone of our work for wildlife: You can help support our ongoing lawsuit against the Trump Administration on behalf of endangered species in the Gulf. You could also help us plant thousands of native trees where they’re needed most, build more wildlife crossings that prevent animals from getting injured or killed on our roadways, create and restore wildlife habitats in communities and neighborhoods across the nation, and so much more.

We need your support for our programs that will make a real difference for wildlife, no matter what challenges we face together. Will you step up today? Remember, we will match your impact for the first three months if you give before the deadline at midnight on June 16.

Will you join our Leaders Club and give monthly?

Friend of Wildlife,

Eight weeks ago, the National Wildlife Federation sued the Trump Administration over their illegal attempt to set aside Endangered Species Act protections for all oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico. We did not take this action lightly—it’s part of a comprehensive plan to ensure that vital wildlife regulations are followed and oppose unprecedented decisions that violate the law and harm wildlife.

Lawsuits are often expensive even under the most ideal circumstances, and this is far from ideal: We’re up against the full force of the federal government, who are working for the interests of some of the richest oil and gas producers in the world. The law is on our side, but contesting this lawsuit is going to take a steady stream of resources.

That’s why we’re asking you, one of our most valued supporters, to become part of our Leaders Club, an exclusive group of dedicated wildlife champions who provide year-round, continuing support for wildlife and the air, lands, and waters we share.

Friend, please accept this special invitation to join our Leaders Club by making a monthly gift to the National Wildlife Federation. If you become a Leader with a gift of $15 or more before midnight on June 16, we will match the impact of every dollar you give for your first three monthly gifts! Will you be one of the first to step up?

According to OpenSecrets.org, the oil and gas industry has already spent more than $38.5 MILLION on lobbying the United States government in 2026. Last year, the total was nearly $150 million. We are clear-eyed about what we might be facing with this administration and their powerful friends, and we need you by our side now more than ever before.

Can we count on your year-round support to fight back? We know there will be more challenges coming for wildlife, the health of our ecosystems, and the very future of our planet.

Giving monthly is one of the simplest and most powerful ways for members like you to help provide resources to support NWF during this lawsuit, and protect the wildlife and wild lands that define America. We depend on the dedication of our monthly donors—our Leaders Club—for their enduring support that powers our work for wildlife in 2026 and beyond.

Taking on the Trump administration directly through our lawsuit and other activities opposing the Endangered Species Committee’s unlawful actions is challenging, expensive work. We need Leaders we can depend on as we work to build a world with better ecological balance, and safe, equitable access to clean water, air, and land to ensure that all wildlife, people, and ecosystems thrive.

Many small monthly gifts add up to make a big difference. That’s why growing our Leaders Club matters. Are you ready to be a Leader for wildlife? Please start your monthly gift today and the impact of your first three gifts will be matched.

Thank you for all you do for wildlife.
