AddUp is a Sierra Club-built platform that allows you to set up an online homepage for your campaign where you can host a variety of online actions -- from petitions, events, social media shares, volunteer sign-ups, and more -- that support your campaign work and help you achieve your organizing goals by empowering supporters to take meaningful action. Having an online presence in the form of an AddUp campaign allows you to have a central destination for the media, supporters, and decision makers to go to learn about your goals and campaign, and show the volume of support for your campaign.

AddUp basics

AddUp is a Sierra Club-built platform that allows you to set up an online homepage for your campaign where you can host a variety of online actions -- from petitions, events, social media shares, volunteer sign-ups, and more -- that support your campaign work and help you achieve your organizing goals by empowering supporters to take meaningful actions. Having an online presence in the form of an AddUp campaign allows you to have a central destination for the media, supporters, and decision makers to go to learn about your goals and campaign, and show the volume of support for your campaign.

We’ll even drive new supporters to your campaign through recommendations across AddUp and SierraClub.org.  

AddUp allows you to host up to six different actions at once -- a petition or email message to decisionmakers, a Tweet supporters can share, social media sharing, volunteer recruitment, events, and fundraising. AddUp is designed with the intention that you will add, remove, and modify the various actions on your campaign as it progresses towards its final goal. You can also download information about your supporters.

 

Anyone can create an AddUp account. Sierra Club staff determine what level of access new AddUp users receive.
