Now through June 15th FMR is offering a special gift and volunteer membership for just $15 — complete with a free year’s subscription to Big River Magazine! They’re a great way to support the restoration and conservation of the Mississippi River while giving a thoughtful, unique present to a recent graduate, friend, family member, or yourself!

Why membership matters

• The more members FMR has, the more people we officially represent. This helps us advocate for and help restore the river in many ways.
• The more members we have, the more we can leverage additional funding from foundations and corporations, meaning more money for habitat restoration and education events and projects.
• The greater our numbers, the stronger our voice! When it comes to grabbing the ears of politicians and policymakers in decision-making forums, those who represent the largest number of constituents often matter most.
• Members beget members. We are social creatures. The more members we have, the more we look like a worthy investment to others!

Member benefits

• It feels good. You know you’re doing something that makes sense and helps others and our environment.
• In addition, you (or your gift recipient) will receive a year's free subscription to Big River Magazine, courtesy of The McKnight Foundation and Big River so the entirety of your gift goes to support the river. Big River Magazine is a great way to learn more about the Mississippi in our region, and discover ways to take advantage of what it offers!
