We're decided to change the name of our donors from "supporters" to "Sustainers." You're not just people who "support" our work. You are the ones who contribute significantly and come back year after year. It is because of you that we can do our work in a strategic, long-term way. Accordingly, we are changing the name to "Sustainers" -- after all, you are what sustains this work. We could not do this without financial contributions of individuals like you and all of our Sustainers.

If you're a Sustainer, you've already received or will soon receive a t-shirt in our 2018 design shown here. But, would you like to take advantage of a last chance to get our vintage design — seen sported so often by our earliest Sustainers at conferences and events? If so, read on!

UPDATE: Just give $256 total for this year's fundraiser and receive an additional vintage T-shirt!
But first, as a note to how difficult this year has been, we know that many of our 2019 Sustainers are still awaiting their t-shirts, which have the wonderful 2018 design. We've had difficulty working through keeping our staff safe during the pandemic lock downs and making trips to the post office — historically, we on staff all shared the post office trips, but we all have different COVID-19 risk factors and thus it's all moving slowly. We appreciate the patience of our Sustainers waiting for t-shirts, and we do have plan to safely send out the backlog by years' end.
As part of those preparations, we found a treasure trove and now have an exciting promotion for renewing Sustainers. We found an old stash of vintage t-shirts, in the old style! Supplies are limited, but for those few sustainers who would like to receive one, we have a special offer. Sustainers who give $256 or more between 2020-01-15 and 2021-01-15 can receive one of these vintage t-shirts! To claim your vintage t-shirt, do the following:

Supplies won't last; give $256 and make one of these vintage shirts yours today!
You too can look cool in the vintage design. Or maybe your original has faded and you're ready to spruce up with a new one? As we said, supplies are limited so make a big donation today, support Conservancy, and show you've always been old-school — or just want to look that way!
Support us now!
SUSTAINER, t-shirt size, if you are renewing, and if you want public acknowledgment in memo line.
