Business Memberships
Whether you are a recent Business Member or it has been a few years since you’ve been involved, we are fortunate to be a part of a community that values so highly the Anacortes Community Forest Lands (ACFL). Our education and stewardship programs are funded through a variety of local community sources that collectively support our mission of providing forest education in the ACFL. Local businesses are an integral part of this community and have long sponsored Friends and the work we do.
We have big news: later this year we will open an interpretive center that will offer workshops, exhibits, and other educational opportunities to connect with the forestlands and their unique history. As a result, we are seeking creative ways to create a top-notch ecological interpretive center here in downtown Anacortes. Please consider supporting this exciting new venture!
By becoming a Business Member, you demonstrate your support of Friends of the ACFL’s mission and education programs. There are six different membership levels so whatever your budget, there’s an opportunity to become a member. No matter what level you choose, all members get three great benefits for their contribution:
media recognition
All levels will be recognized publicly: on our website, in one of our publications, and on social media.
Window certificate
All levels will receive a window cling (similar to this one) to show all of your customers that you support the Friends of the Forest.
annual event Appreciation
Get a shoutout for your support at one of our annual events that draw members and nonmembers alike.
