Special Benefits

Summit Circle members get a front row seat for the unfolding adventure that is the environmental movement. More than that, we visit the places we’re working to save, like our national parks…and Congress.

Some membership benefits and opportunities include:

  • Invitations to special outings, events, and meetings, where we network with fellow environmental donors, activists, and leaders

  • Periodic Donor Forums with discussions led by senior leaders and expert campaign staff, our nation’s top policy makers, frontline organizers, thought leaders, and influential allies

  • Impact Reports featuring updates on campaigns and strategies for next steps

Your Impact

Protecting Lands and Water

In 2024, thanks to the support and engagement of Sierra Club activists, we were able to secure the protection of over 40 million acres of lands and water. This included work with our Chapters in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado to secure new national monument designations to protect the cultural lands of local Tribal Nations.
 

Preserving the Arctic Refuge

Our Arctic Team moved the Biden Administration to cancel all of the existing "Trump" leases in the Arctic Refuge and to build up pressure through our corporate campaign, resulting in zero in the last of the mandated Arctic Refuge Lease Sales.

Conserving Wildlife and Oceans

Our ongoing advocacy in the Northern Rockies convinced the Fish and Wildlife Service to keep the grizzly bears in the region on the Endangered Species list. In addition, driven by the efforts of our coastal Chapters, Environmental Law Program, and Federal Policy team, the Administration put over 600 million acres of the ocean off limits to oil and gas leasing.
