What exactly is a Strong Towns membership? We use some variation of the phrase “Strong Towns members” so often that the meaning has become blurred. Simply put, membership is the way our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization accepts your tax-deductible donation. Your Strong Towns membership means that you have made a financial contribution in the past twelve months. A Strong Towns membership starts as soon as you make a contribution of any amount. There is no minimum or maximum amount because we want to ensure that everyone has the ability to join. We just ask that you join at whatever amount is financially comfortable for you. To learn more about Strong Towns membership, read more here.
