[Membership Application Form]

You can join the SCCi and help preserve caves and cave access in the southeast for only $15 per year. Your dues go directly to buy and manage caves (see the list) around the region. 

Sustaining memberships are available for those who wish to help the Conservancy pay off the mortgages on cave purchases by making regular monthly or quarterly contributions via their credit or debit cards. More than 300 SCCi members participate in this program, which provides a regular and predictable income stream allowing the Conservancy to purchase caves using loans and mortgages. Without this kind of steady and dependable support, it would be much more difficult to carry out our program of cave acquisition and protection. For more information on sustaining memberships, see the Sustaining Contribution page.

Members receive a quarterly newsletter containing news of SCCi projects and activities, and vote in the annual election Board of Directors. 

The SCCi is a non-profit, tax exempt, 501-c-3 corporation and is governed by a 9 member Board of Directors elected by the membership. It has an annual members meeting each Spring, as well as quarterly Board meetings at locations around the southeast. 

Regular membership in the Conservancy is $15 for one year. Annual dues for each year expire at the end of September in the following year. Print and mail the Membership Application Form along with your check or money order for $15 to:
