Stand With Your Neighbors

Become a member and join hundreds of Door County residents who believe this place is worth protecting.

More Than a Donation

Membership is not just financial support - though that matters too. It is a way of saying: I am part of this. I care about this place. I want to see it protected.

When you become a member, you join a community of people who share that feeling. Farmers and artists. Retirees and young families. Lifelong residents and newcomers. People who hike the preserves, people who have never set foot on one but want to know they will be there for their grandchildren.

Your membership keeps the Land Trust rooted in this community - not beholden to distant foundations or government grants, but supported by neighbors who believe in the work.

That is what makes it meaningful.

Membership Questions

Is my membership tax-deductible?

Yes. The Door County Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your membership gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

What is the difference between membership and donating?

Membership is an annual commitment - a way of saying count me in each year. You can also make one-time or additional donations anytime. Both support our work.

Do I have to renew every year?

Annual renewal keeps your membership active. We will send reminders. You can also set up automatic renewal so you never have to think about it.

Can I give a membership as a gift?

Yes! A gift membership is a meaningful way to share your love for Door County. Contact us for details.

I am only here in summer. Can I still be a member?

Absolutely. Many of our members are seasonal residents. You will get all the same updates and invitations - and your support protects the land year-round.

What if I cannot afford the suggested amount?

Join at whatever level works for you. We mean it. Being part of this community matters more than the dollar amount.
