JOIN US

Our chapter offers a local membership via a National Audubon Society membership, as well as a local-only membership. Some people opt to join both ways, in order to financially benefit the local chapter, even though a national membership includes local membership.

National Membership

The Dubuque Audubon Society is a chapter of the National Audubon Society. When you join the National Audubon Society using the button below, you will also be requesting the Dubuque Audubon Society as your local Audubon chapter. The annual cost is a $20 minimum donation, which is for a family or an individual, although a higher value may be suggested on the national website. (We receive a one-time $20 payment for every new national membership form submitted using the button below. Renewals are handled directly with the National Audubon Society.)

Please note that the Dubuque Aububon Society is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with its own budget and programs. Although we are a chapter of the National Audubon Society, we rely on support from our local members to carry out our wide array of programs.

National members will receive the award-winning Audubon magazine. We recommend noting the month you join, so that you will not be confused by early renewal reminders.

If you join at the national level, it may take 2 – 9 weeks to be added to our local list. If you would like to be added sooner, please email AudubonDubuqueMembership@gmail.com and let us know!

(If you join the National Society without designating our local chapter, you will be assigned based on your zip code.)

Local Membership

Local membership outside of a national membership requires a $10 minimum annual donation, which is for a family or an individual. Membership expires one year from your sign-up. 100% of local payments remain with our chapter.

If you wish to join or renew membership in the Dubuque Audubon Society, then please print and fill out our membership form. You may turn in your form and payment at one of our monthly programs, or you may mail it to the address shown on the form.

Members will receive our quarterly newsletter Pileated Drummings by email and/or printed mail.

If you provide an email address when joining or renewing, you will automatically be placed on our regular email list. As an experiment in 2025, we are going to try creating a separate email list for those who would like more group birding opportunities.
