Who are Strong Towns members?

Members are a community of likeminded advocates who can share ideas, create resources , and take action, all with a common goal, across geographic, political, and demographic differences.

What is membership?

When you make a donation of any amount to Strong Towns, you become an official member of this movement. There is no minimum or maximum donation required to become a member, because we want to ensure everyone has the ability to join.

Membership is how Strong Towns can measure the strength of the movement, helping to build credibility with places, people, donors, and media, all of which help to spread the message further.

Why should I join?

Membership is a declaration: “This work matters. I want to help make it stronger.” Membership shapes the future of our cities, towns, and neighborhoods for the better.

Your community is waiting for you.

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.

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!

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."
