Dear John —

Circle of Blue is committed to informing the world's most important decisions about water at the intersection of climate, food, energy, equity, and environmental sustainability.

This past March, the landmark UN conference on water was a powerful reminder of the importance of placing water on the global agenda. But it marked only the beginning of a conversation that needs to be punctuated by the stories Circle of Blue covers.

As we continue to face complex global challenges including droughts, floods, contamination and pollution, and environmental inequity, Circle of Blue is launching a fundraising drive to support our vital work. 

Our goal is to raise $25,000 in the next six weeks to support our award-winning reporting that is informing local and global communities at all levels. Your support is more critical now than ever.

By supporting Circle of Blue, you ensure we can continue to produce groundbreaking reporting and raise awareness that will inform action. Whether you can contribute $10, $100, or $1,000, your tax-deductible donation makes a difference.

We are calling on all our readers to join us in this crucial effort to support independent, nonprofit journalism. We hope you will join us during this critical time.

With gratitude,
