Protect Children’s Health: Double Your Impact Today

Your gift today helps our country teams reach more children by identifying and stopping sources of toxic exposure, cleaning up toxic sites, monitoring blood lead levels, training miners in mercury-free methods, and restoring degraded gold mining areas.

Every dollar you give, up to $40,000, will be matched through December 31, 2025, thanks to Pure Earth’s Board Chair Emeritus. Together, we are transforming lives, empowering communities, and ensuring that every child has the chance to grow, learn, and thrive in a world free of toxic pollution.

Want to Help Save Lives? Vox Recommends Giving to Pure Earth

Vox picked Pure Earth as one of their recommended charities to donate to this giving season. While the extent of the lead poisoning crisis is enormous, Vox highlighted Pure Earth for our successful interventions and proven leadership in mitigating lead exposures.

Vox reporter Dylan Matthews writes, “While there are several worthwhile charities working on [lead poisoning], I (Dylan) recommend in particular Pure Earth, which has been a leader on lead and metal contamination for decades.”
