To our Legacy Members - a special thank you!
If you see Legacy Membership on your receipt, you hold a special place in our story.
Your commitment since our early days has helped to build the foundation for all our work.
A Legacy Member means you were once a Veterinary, Veterinary student, or Associate Member, under the previous Constitution. These membership categories no longer exist and our membership program has evolved: we are building something bigger!
A New Chapter
We’re thrilled to introduce our new and improved Membership Program, designed to deepen your connection with our work and amplify our collective impact.
To make your ongoing contributions even more valuable, we'd love to transition your regular monthly payments to tax-deductible donations while inviting you to choose a a new Membership tier that resonates with you.
Your options moving forward:
- Select a new Membership tier to maintain your voting rights and continue shaping our mission
- Continue your monthly contributions - no action needed! We'll automatically treat these as tax-deductible donations.
- Review our FAQs or contact our CEO Steff Goldring at [email protected] with any questions
We've set a gentle deadline of 31 August 2025 to learn your preferences.
If we don't hear from you by 31 August 2025, we'll assume that you no longer wish to be a Member with Vets for Climate Action. We'll then remove your name from our Member register, and we'll note any regular monthly (or quarterly) contributions as tax-deductible donations.
We recognise the busy-ness of life and practice, so if you miss the deadline - we can easily reinstate your membership whenever you're ready!
As a formality, we note that our Member email of 31 May 2025 served as a formal written request under section 24(d) of our Constitution.
To our members - a big thank you!
If you have Membership Payment on your receipt: Congratulations! You already have voting rights under our Constitution! Under our updated Membership Program, the first $50 of your contribution covers membership (non-tax deductible), with any amount above that being a tax-deductible donation.
If your Membership fee is only $1, we'd love you too to select a Membership tier that works for you to continue shaping our mission.
