Gathering Waters Conservancy Membership
As pressures on our land resources grow, so grows our need to protect the future of the Wisconsin landscape. Our members are a crucial force in helping us do this. We welcome you to join this group of impassioned individuals.
We consider anyone who has contributed financially to the organization in the past year to be member of Gathering Waters Conservancy. Members receive our newsletter, invitations to events, email updates about land conservation news in the state and more.
If you would like to play an active role in protecting Wisconsin’s special places, become a member or renew your membership today.
Why your membership is important:
- Our members' support strengthens our clout when advocating for public policies that support Wisconsin land conservation.
- Our members provide us continued financial stability, ensuring the survival of our programs even when other funding streams, such as foundation or government grants, end or shift priorities.
- Membership dollars are often unrestricted, unlike many of the foundation grants that benefit a specific program or project. Since Wisconsin has an ever-changing landscape, unrestricted gifts allow us to respond to emerging issues quickly.
- Membership lends your voice to a clear, respected call for land conservation in Wisconsin.
We recognize that your contribution comes from a love for Wisconsin’s land and resources. Therefore, we work hard to ensure your gift supports effective and meaningful conservation.
