June is AERO Membership Month!

June 12, 2020

Look for our mailer, coming to you by post or email this week! It was doozy getting everything in that we wanted to share – and we loved that!  In addition to inviting you to renew/join this month, we wanted to share where we are in 2020 – both with what we’d originally planned and what we’ve added since CV-19. And truly, YOU make all that possible. Grants only cover part of our costs. YOUR support is what allows us to pivot and respond to a pandemic, implementing new programs to fill gaps, providing resources and leadership to new efforts. YOU make the difference. THANK YOU!  

Below is a summary of our 2020 AERO member benefits, and all about our AERO Business Partnerships. You can contribute by check using the remit envelope included in your mailer, or securely by credit card at: https://aeromt.org/join/. Or call Kate at AERO’s headquarters: 406.443.7272.

Just so you know, it makes a BIG difference to our cash flow having funds come in mid-year, separate from our End-Of-Year campaign. So, again, thank you for participating!

And, from all of us at AERO, a heart-felt THANK YOU! for your confidence and faith in our efforts.  We are inspired by your support, in whatever form it takes. We work for you, and together we are building the world we all want to live in.  The future of sustainability is community.

AERO MEMBERSHIP

While any contribution qualifies for membership, we recommend $40 / year for an individual or family (household) membership; $20/year for students.

Member Benefits include:

• Discounted registration to our annual Expo
• Our monthly E-News, membership announcements, and the quarterly Sun Times delivered to your inbox
• One vote at member meetings, including AERO’s Annual Meeting

The win-win of Sustaining Members

We REALLY appreciate sustaining (recurring) contributions of $5/mo or more, with automatic withdrawal and renewal. Sustaining contributions provide a reliable income stream throughout the year, so we can focus more on implementing our programs, and less on fundraising. 

AERO  BUSINESS PARTNER

We want to promote your business state-wide! Our reach is expanding daily and we LOVE elevating MT sustainability businesses. Joining as an AERO Business Partner is a great investment for you and your business. Our tier options below make it simple to choose what works best for you. Also: you can contribute annually or split your contribution into monthly or quarterly contributions.

ALL AERO Business Partners receive member benefits AND, your choice of:

AERO Business Partner Tiers:

Bronze Barley $125: Membership benefits + Linked monthly eNews/website logo recognition

Silver Chickpea $250 – All the above + Recognition at AERO-sponsored events

Golden Lentil $500  – All the above + Market table at Expo

Platinum Pea Pod $1,000 – All the above + Feature article in the Sun Times

The win-win-win of Sustaining Partners

When you participate with a sustaining (recurring) contribution, with automatic withdrawal and renewal, it becomes a line item on your budget, you eliminate a renewal call from us, and we get support in planning out our year, which is SO helpful for our annual budgeting and cash flow. Thank you!
