Become a Sustaining Member of the Southeastern Cave Conservancy

Did you know that for the cost of a fast-food lunch you can buy a cave? How? By becoming a Sustaining Member of the SCCi! The Conservancy needs a steady income to make mortgage payments on all current acquisitions such as Fern Cave and Steward Spring Cave. Your monthly contribution of $5, $10, or more can be leveraged into more than $100,000 per year in cave purchases.

To sign up as a sustaining contributor, please print this Membership Form, fill it out, and mail it to us.

The Sustaining Membership program offers SCCi members and supporters a convenient way to make regular donations in monthly or quarterly installments billed to their credit or debit card. More than 300 SCCi members have already signed up as sustaining members by authorizing a monthly charge of $5 to $100 on their Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card. Contributions go directly into the SCCi Cave Acquisition Fund and are used buy caves . You can designate your contribution for specific projects, such as the Fern, Steward Springs, Wolf River, or Limrock purchases, or it can go into the Cave Acquisition Fund and be applied as needed to pay for cave purchases.

As we build up this program, we leverage its income with mortgage loans to purchase several new caves each year. It only takes 200 people willing to commit $5 per month to cave acquisition. That's about the cost of one lunch at a fast food restaurant.

Special premiums are available for Sustaining Members who contribute more than the minimum $5 per month. A monthly $10 contribution gets you an SCCi Logo T-Shirt, and contributions of $25 per month or more are honored with an SCCi embroidered logo polo shirt and other premiums,
