Just like in 2019, EESI is the ONLY environmental nonprofit in the Washington, D.C., area to have earned a Top-Rated Award in 2020 so far. EESI is also a Four Star Charity on Charity Navigator, the highest number of stars possible, which Charity Navigator says is “exceptional.” We are honored by these recognitions, which help us keep doing the work on climate change that you’re depending on us to do.

None of this would be possible without the amazing support we receive from you! As our donors, reviewers, volunteers, stakeholders, partners, and collaborators, we want to thank you all so much for the great reviews we have received on GreatNonprofits thus far this year! (It is the earliest in the year that we have achieved Top-Rated status, all thanks to you!)

GreatNonprofits is the “Yelp” of the nonprofit world, allowing users familiar with a nonprofit to share their experiences by leaving a review and rating. Reviews such as the ones below help potential donors, stakeholders, and the public understand the value of what EESI is doing every day to advocate for climate change solutions.

Having served in Congress for 10 years, I don't know what I would have done without the excellent, informative, comprehensive briefings of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute. They assembled experts that even our own Congressional Committees failed to consider!

Climate action supporters are exposed to high volumes of news of climate change every day through various headlines, many of which go unnoticed. EESI distills the most news-worthy developments in a succinct manner and streamlines the information dissemination process. Through the newsletter many of the most forefront and prominent topics become accessible to the reader. The reader can trust that they remain abreast of the latest developments on a single platform.

EESI provides relevant information in a timely manner without the partisan bias you often see in communications about critical clean energy topics of the day. I have relied on the information from EESI over three decades and find their material and their briefings to be of great value.

If EESI’s work has proven beneficial to you in any way, we’d be grateful if you would take a moment to review EESI at www.eesi.org/rate. We would love to hear why you care about climate change and why you see EESI’s work as important, or how it has helped you. We cherish hearing from you as we constantly strive to make our work even more helpful and relevant.

Additionally, if you’d like to power this work to urgently address climate change, resilience, and sustainable solutions, please make a donation today at www.eesi.org/donate, or set up a monthly gift to keep the support going year-round. EESI is neither funded by Congress nor is it a membership organization with due revenue: we are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization powered by charitable donations from people who care. Thank you for your commitment to a sustainable and resilient economy!

We recognize that this is an especially challenging time as communities cope with the pandemic, and we are particularly grateful for your support. We hope that you and your family are staying healthy and happy. Again, thank you for your dedication to climate change solutions!
