Lifetime Membership

A generous gift to the climate movement at a most critical time

What is it?

A Lifetime Member has the capacity to scale up their investment in climate and understands that every dollar committed now will have an outsized impact on climate solutions. By donating $10,000 now (rather than giving a regular donation over several years) you’re making an upfront investment in our safe climate future.

Why give collectively?

A giving circle brings together like-minded people who pool their resources to make a collective impact. This kind of giving goes beyond your donation; it fosters a culture of participation and shared responsibility, deepening our understanding of climate issues so we can together decide what to fund. At Groundswell, no matter how much you pitch in, everybody gets a vote on where funding should be directed, but with a Lifetime Membership you are leveraging your impact and accelerating meaningful climate action.

What impact will I have?

Twice a year Groundswell gives out multiple $40,000 grants to strategic climate advocacy organisations, as voted on by our members. When pooled, a Lifetime Membership donation has a significant impact on this work – it might determine whether an organisation can hire that part-time campaigner, run a marketing campaign ahead of an upcoming State election, or invest in policy research to get you in front of a Federal MP.
