Membership & Donations
All who live on Lake Sammamish, use the lake for recreation, or simply appreciate this valuable asset of the Puget Sound area are invited to become a member of SLS.
About Donations
Some of our organization’s activities cost money, particularly legal actions and newsletter distribution. Some money is obtained through grants, but these sources are not adequate. Therefore, we depend heavily on membership dues.
Levels of Donation
$25 Individual membership
$40 Family membership
$100 Sponsorship
$250 or more Stewardship
There are no paid officers of the organization so 100% of donations are used to achieve the mission. Many companies have programs for matching employee donations to non-profit organizations such as Save Lake Sammamish. That’s a way to easily double the impact of your donation. Active support of SLS through participation in public forums and environmental actions, and voting for candidates and issues that favor the lake are always encouraged and appreciated.
