What Is a Sustaining Member?

Sustaining members are the backbone of CRAG Vermont.  Nearly three quarters of our members choose to pledge their support by becoming a Sustainer!

Very similar to an Annual Membership, there is one important difference:  As a Sustaining Member, you choose to automatically pledge your support every year by enrolling into automatic yearly renewal of your membership.

If you love climbing in the Green Mountain State, join us. Membership not only makes our work possible, it comes with some great benefits. If you’re already a member — spread the word and encourage your climbing partner to join.⁠

Special Benefits for Sustaining Members in our

We thank all new Sustaining Members that pledge more than $50 annually with special gifts when you sign up!  We are currently proud to offer:

  • At the $50+ Level: The NEW CRAG Vermont T-Shirt with Custom Artwork by Dylan Fant of Smugg’s Boulders

And of course, you’ll also receive a CRAG Vermont sticker so that you can identify yourself as a proud CRAG Vermont supporter!

 

MORE BENEFITS
  • Uninterrupted CRAG Vermont membership status.
  • Convenience of automatic annual renewal.
  • Sustainer-only early access to tickets and special event discounts on select CRAG affiliated community events throughout the year.
  • Plus all the normal member benefits.

For many people, the choice is simple.  Being a Sustainer means that you can reliably pledge your support without having to remember to renew every year.  Plus, it comes with swanky gifts when you sign up.  It makes showing your support easy.  One less thing to worry about when you’d rather be clipping bolts or plugging gear.

What Is an ANNUAL Member?

CRAG Vermont is made possible by our members, those stand-out individuals who choose to make a financial contribution to secure and protect climbing in Vermont.

An Annual Membership is a one-time pledge of support that will afford you all the benefits and pride of membership for one year.

While your membership will not automatically renew (if you’d like that to happen, check out the Sustaining Member option) you can choose to manually renew every year, at the level that feels most comfortable for you.

When you join as an Annual Member, you become central to the mission and community by directly supporting the hard work, time, cost, effort and energy that goes into stewarding our climbing resources.

 

ANNUAL MEMBER Benefits

By choosing to show your support as a CRAG Vermont member, you’re helping to secure the future of climbing in the state of Vermont.  While we believe that the biggest benefits to membership include access to the cliffs you’re helping to protect, stewardship of the land so that it remains sustainable and able to be used well into the future, and the community that surrounds our sport, we’ve gone to great lengths to secure some other incredible member perks as well, including:

  • Discounted memberships at local climbing gyms
  • Gear discounts
  • Reduced rates on climbing instruction and guiding.
  • Member Meet-Ups
  • and more, as we continually add new partners!
