Give to CivicLex

Become a Member

CivicLex has a membership program because monthly, recurring donations help our organization be more financially sustainable. Since ALL of our programs, workshops, events, and local news coverage is free, we need gifts like Memberships to support the cost of producing them.

Our membership program also helps our supporters connect more deeply with what we do. As a member, you’ll get to know the people behind our programs through exclusive social and networking opportunities while helping CivicLex grow for years to come.

Civic Defenders

Civic Defenders are donors who make very significant contributions to support CivicLex's work, generally over $5,000.00. We have a Civic Defenders program because major gifts like these help us take on new programs that aren’t grant-funded and they help us support our staff with competitive pay and benefits. Gifts made through this program help us enable residents across the city to take an active role in shaping the future of our community.

As a Civic Defender, you will receive access to our Civic Supper Clubs, a quarterly opportunity to join some of our community's influential and interesting civic actors for intimate meals and meaningful conversations that will expand your understanding of the issues and dynamics shaping our city.

To inquire about becoming a Civic Defender, please contact Noel Osborn, Director of Development at noel@civiclex.org
