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?

When you make a donation of any amount to Strong Towns, you become an official member of this movement.
There are two ways to manage your membership: with an annual contribution, or a monthly donation. Either way, your membership is valid for one year following your most recent contribution.
There is no minimum or maximum donation required to become a member, because we want to ensure everyone has the ability to join. We just ask that you join at whatever amount is financially comfortable for you.

Strong Towns members 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 membership is like signing a petition to that effect. Monitoring membership is one of the best ways for us to measure the strength of this movement, observe that it is growing, and show that Strong Towns thinking is taking hold in meaningful ways. In other words, your membership proves these ideas have merit. Your membership inspires more people to take notice and join up.
We aren’t just challenging the status quo, we’re changing it.

Your membership 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 membership supports these heroes.
