Membership Benefits
Parishes, organizations and individuals can join CSPL and become an integral part of our Spirit-rooted and grassroots community organizing movement. An outline of our membership benefits for institutional members and individual members and instructions on how to join can be found below. If you have any questions about membership, please feel free to connect with us through our contact page on the website or you can reach out directly to a staff member.
Institutional Member
Member organizations of CSPL are free to send representatives to the Membership meetings. The member representatives help keep the parish or organization apprised of the work of CSPL. They are also encouraged to network with other members of the CSPL to share the issues about which they are passionate. Through the membership meetings they can bring these issues to the attention of the CSPL Board of Directors. There will be opportunities for interested members of affiliated organizations to join the CSPL issue committees and become active leaders in CSPL.
Individual Member
As an individual you have the option to join CSPL whether or not you belong to a congregation or organization. In many cases, individuals who belong to a parish or university that is a current institutional member of CSPL have chosen to join CSPL as individual members in order to help contribute to our work through a monthly contribution. Individual members can participate in leadership trainings and issue campaign work just as leaders from institutional members can. We encourage individuals who join as members to participate in our work, as we are always seeking to grow as a community of solidarity, spirit and action.
As a 501(c)3 organization your monthly membership contibution is tax-deductable.
For those who are unable to contribute monthly at any of these levels, we still encourage you to join! Simply click on the “contact us” button below and one of our staff will reach out to you.
