The Mid-Hudson Group of the Sierra Club is an active group that relies on contributions to help support most of its activities. Generous support from our friends and members has helped our local group work to advocate for the environment.
We greatly appreciate any and all donations. All of us are volunteers, and donations are a key ingredient in the mix that helps enhance our activism. Your contribution will help us pursue vital environmental issues in our area and beyond and help us pay for materials used in education, demonstrations, or communicating with public officials.
Questions about making gifts or contributions may be sent to David "Ace" Case, Treasurer of the Mid-Hudson Group by sending an email to: midhudsonsierra@twc.com. Your email will be forwarded to Ace.

Recurring (Sustaining) Tax-Deductible Donations
Many supporters of social, environmental, religious or other educational or charitable organizations use recurring donations, such as monthly or annual payments, to ensure their chosen charitable organizations have ongoing support.
At this time, we are checking with the Sierra Club Foundation regarding how we can enable recurring donations and have that tax deductible donation come to the Mid-Hudson Group rather than go into the general Foundation funds, so please make your one-time tax deductible donation by mail as indicated above, and indicate an interest in recurring donations. Thank you for considering making your donation a recurring one.
Matching Tax-Deductible Donations
Many employers offer to match employee contributions to non-profits. If your employer has such a program, please contact David Case at midhudsonsierra@twc.com to facilitate the verification and approval of your request for a matching donation.
