Become a Chicago Wilderness Alliance Partner!

Across 39 counties in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, the 300+ partners in the Chicago Wilderness Alliance are invigorated by our shared commitment to the Green Vision Initiatives.

Now, more than ever, your participation is critical! 

As a partner organization, your entire staff, board, and volunteer team become Alliance partners, with access to all the benefits and resources the Alliance provides.

Partnership in the Alliance provides your organization with opportunities to:

  • influence priorities;
  • build leadership skills;
  • network with a wide array of people;
  • access professional development resources;
  • promote your organization’s work and mission;
  • share events and job opportunities;
  • benefit from a host of resources, including online meetings and webinars and in-person conferences and field trips; and
  • attend Executive Council meetings to participate in conversations about regional and global conservation efforts 

Organizations and individuals may join as partners. Your annual dues support the programs and financial sustainability of the entire Chicago Wilderness Alliance. 

We want the Alliance to be accessible to all. The cost of partnering should never be a barrier to participation.

Organizational partnership levels are based on annual operating budgets and can begin as low as $50 per year. We can also waive the dues for federal agency partners, collaborating regional conservation associations, and community organizations with limited budgets (select Level 12 below). 

 

Suggested levels listed below are a guide for conversations within your organization. You can choose the level that works best for you. Contact Laura Reilly, Managing Director, with questions.
