Membership FAQ

Our Membership Program: LPLA members are a community, not simply a funding source. Your financial support makes our work possible, but your local knowledge, experience, and passion for Lake Pepin make our work better. We encourage you to stay engaged with us throughout the year. Share stories and photos, especially if you've experienced impacts from sedimentation. Email or call us anytime with questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Your Membership Term: Valid for for 1 year from the date of your most recent contribution.

Memberships are specific to individuals, not households. You can include a spouse or partner as a complimentary member when you contribute; however, you will not receive multiple gift items. If each person wants a member shirt, then each person needs to contribute individually.
