Why does recurring membership matter?

Recurring membership matters because we began as a grassroots organization and 43 years later, the roots that bind us are our members who continue to support our work.  We invite you to join as a monthly recurring member so we can all focus on the future.

When you become a member of Friends, you play a vital role in protecting what you love. When you choose a monthly recurring membership, you are committed to sustaining organized efforts to address: restoring shorelines, mentoring youth, advocating for a thriving Salish Sea, comprehensive planning for the islands, and much more. Every member makes a difference, and consistent support is the predictable revenue that helps us pursue our mission-driven work.

Just like Roemer’s fescue (picture by Mike Vouri above), Friends’ members are still deeply and densely rooted to our mission, and they are hardy, persistent, and resilient. Membership support allows Friends to address change and challenges, and protect what you love — the islands, the natural shorelines, the forage fish, the salmon, and the orca.

Become a monthly recurring member today, and you will provide the sustainability that allows Friends to continue its complex and critical work, now and into the future. Our dedication is reinforced by your commitment.

I hope you’ll join me — I am a monthly recurring member. I value where I live, and I believe in our work.

Friends has done so much to identify those critical beaches where the forage fish are spawning and that is work that I value greatly. Once we know the spawning locations, we can permanently protect those very important beaches.
