Membership
Great things happen when committed Vermonters work together, on the ground and in our communities. Consider joining the AVCC today!
The AVCC membership year runs from October 1st to September 30th.
We offer two levels of annual membership, $50 for commissions and $20 for individuals. 100% of membership dues are redistributed as Tiny Grant awards every spring. Check this list to see if your town’s commission is current on its membership dues. While we greatly appreciate the contributions of our members, we also recognize that not everyone can afford to give, which is why most of our programming is offered free of charge. If you have any questions about membership, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Board at board@vtconservation.org.
Update your commission’s information:
Use this Google Form, print out and mail in the AVCC Membership Form, or simply send us an email with your the names, email addresses, titles (e.g. Chair or Treasurer), and term end dates of your commission members. Other than the primary contact person, this information is for internal use only and will not be made public or shared with partners.

Donations
Over the past three years, our Tiny Grants program has accounted for over 85% of our total spending, meaning most of your contribution goes directly to the community volunteers making a difference in cities and towns across Vermont! In 2026, we are proud to be expanding our programming even further in support of municipal-level conservation.
If you are a state employee, you can donate to the AVCC with a simple, tax-deductible payroll deduction through VtSHARES. Every year, Vermonters give hundreds of thousands of dollars to local nonprofits through this program – with over $11 million in donations collected since 1978! State employees must make their pledges in late fall during a formal campaign that runs in the last week of October and first week of November. Pledged funds will be collected from payroll deductions throughout 2027 and payments will be made to the recipient nonprofits in quarterly amounts. See your VtSHARES Campaign Ambassador for more details!
Thank you for your support of AVCC!
