Your support equips thousands of local advocates across the country in the creation of resilient towns and cities.

We need to turn that into hundreds of thousands, then a million, and then more. We can only do that with your support. So, will you join us and help grow this movement?

  • Strong Towns supporters believe that we can save our cities from financial ruin (and put them on a path toward resilience) through rigorous accounting, traditional development, and bottom-up action. In some ways, your support is like signing a petition to that effect. Support is one of the best ways we can strengthen this movement, observe that it is growing, and show that Strong Towns thinking is taking hold in meaningful ways. In other words, your support proves these ideas have merit. Your support enables more people to take action.

    We aren’t just challenging the status quo, we’re changing it.

  • Your contribution allows us to give local advocates the tools they need to start building their own strong towns. We use these resources to write articles, host educational events, create videos, and much more. But that isn’t the center of this movement. The Strong Towns organization exists to support advocates who are putting the mission into action: those who are stepping up to make the streets they live on safer, working at city hall to open doors for innovative housing development, opening new businesses in vacant downtown buildings, and more. This is the hard work that sparks a revival and builds strong towns in the real world—and your donation supports these heroes.

"I am incredibly impressed and inspired by this movement. I live in a small town in a widespread county with amazing things to offer and nothing coming together. We have the ability to create a utopia in a great farming community in the middle of Indiana and the opportunities are just being squandered. I would love to help my home to move forward on this all around sustainable path and be a thriving desirable place to live."

Lauryn Holling

"Thank you for helping me learn more about good city design! I know $5 isn’t much, but you have truly changed my perspective on life and I now plan to enter a college major to help become a city planner. Thank you!"

Asher Schroader

"Coming from a community that is in desperate need of strengthening, I hope to use the tools I learn from Strong Towns to make my hometown a better place for all involved. I am so excited to see where Strong Towns is headed and I am proud to be a member and contribute to the cause."
