Help launch the North American Pronghorn Foundation - GoFundMe

Just wanted to give a quick announcement so no one is surprised. Our board has decided to delay life memberships for the time being (life member #1 is still spoken for).

We really want to be able to give something back to life members (likely an embroidered vest), and at this time we have not found a life member sponsor.

We’re confident this will change as soon as we’re able to put some money on the ground and establish a reputation. So we’re not concerned about it at this juncture. But I do want to make sure folks know for full transparency.

We anticipate reassessing around the 6 month mark, depending on a few metrics. But we feel strongly that life members deserve something for their support and we want to make sure they are treated right and that they know we are extremely grateful for that life member support.

Anticipate a standard annual $35 dollar membership, a $250 annual sponsor membership, an option to auto-renew both, and an option for custom donations.

More to come soon. We’re getting close…

We’re going to be doing an exclusive early access to HT and GoFundMe supporters. They’ll get password access to our website before it goes live to the general public.

During that time (likely 10 days), we’ll have a preorder for Tshirts so we can order the exact number and sizes needed to make more efficient use of our budget. Hats and sponsor member mugs are already being ordered. A second hat will be released at a later date. Once t-shirts arrive, everything will get shipped at once to folks that ordered.

This is being done to save us some money on shipping costs, make the shipping process more efficient, and to prevent us from ordering shirt designs and sizes that aren’t popular or needed.

Trying our best to control the initial bursts of orders to make sure we can balance funds and make it manageable for us to fulfill orders, and make the member experience positive with a good product.

I may be having a smooth brain moment, but ELI5 what the sponsor membership would entail?

Sponsor member is a $250 annual member level, simply for those that want to give more than the $35 standard membership.

$35 annual membership - sticker, welcome letter, and newsletter.

$250 sponsor member - sticker, engraved mug, welcome letter, and newsletter.

We hope to expand some of this stuff when we have more funds, but in the early stages, this is what makes the most sense from an economic standpoint. With growth in membership comes increased merch order quantities and in turn, reduced cost per item. That makes it easier to expand what we can give members in the future.

Obviously, putting money on the ground to help pronghorn is the #1 priority. But selling merch and membership packages helps foster growth and retainment of members. So it’s a balancing act of saving money to fund projects while simultaneously trying to expand merch and membership packages.
