I’m sure you’ve received more messages about Giving Tuesday than you can give your full attention to. Knowing this, I’m inviting you to take a look at what your support means for us in building the CAPE community of advocacy for environment and health as we plan for 2023. 

Thank you for pushing us to grow our capacity over the past year! 

• Gifts from 1,506 private donors made up 70% of our budget in 2021-2022 and it made all the difference in getting us to where we are today! 
• We have expanded our reach with regional committees, increased our program delivery to health professionals, mobilized advocacy with hundreds of thousands of health professionals, grown our collaborations in coalitions, and brought on several new staff to implement our new strategic plan.

Your trust has been the backbone of our impact for nearly thirty years. We are effective at hitting our targets with a lean budget because we have the best people on board for this journey, taking swift, decisive action together. Without you, we could not have brought the health voice to environmental causes on a national scale as we are now.
