Are you ready to join us as a Climate Protector?
CCAN fights for climate progress everyday and our Climate Protectors are there with us through it all as we build a strong and diverse grassroots climate movement across the Chesapeake region.
CCAN Climate Protectors provide critical support when we need it most to put our region on the path to climate stability. By becoming a Climate Protector, you would be making it possible for us to take bold, creative action at the precise moments when our work will make the biggest impact.
We are accountable to you as our supporters, and committed to reporting back to you so that you can be confident that every dollar is put to effective use. Our donor society isn’t a gimmick, every dollar goes into winning our campaigns. As a top contributor to our organization, we will provide you with opportunities for engagement and education, while also connecting you with other supporters.
