MEMBERSHIP
The Melungeon Roots membership program is structured similarly to the monthly tiers offered by Patreon creators and is our main means of crowdfunding the project. By becoming a supporting member, you’re helping us keep the Resource Center free and accessible to the public. If you’re able to commit to the Mountain Legend tier, you’re also showing us in a big way that you want this project to stick around for the long term – and we’ll be doing our very best to make that happen! Monthly Mountain Legend members also sponsor 1 Hill Folk member while active on the tier.
If you want to go beyond paid membership or would prefer to help in some other way, please consider a contribution to our crowdfunding campaign. Members donating $333 or more will receive a lifetime Mountain Legend membership and sponsor 1 Hill Folk member for a full year! *
If you’d like to join but can’t commit to the monthly fee, please click here to be added to the waitlist.
Sign up as a member before 11.1.25, and you’ll earn this Early Explorer badge for your community profile, in addition to your tier badge.
Thanks so much for your support!

ADDITIONAL INFO
- Members will gain instant access to all the pages listed in the Cave of Clues sitemap. Many of the pages still need to be filled out with data, images, and links, and terms need added to the Resource Center filter. Please be patient while I work daily to add content to the site or simply submit a priority request for a specific page to be worked next, if available at your tier.
- Some of the benefits listed below (special articles, profile badges, etc.) are not yet available. Please know that will change very soon and I’ll be keeping you in the loop through posts to the Welcome Home group, which all community members are added to at signup.
- Funds collected through membership fees will be immediately applied towards the ongoing costs of development and maintenance of the site, in order to keep the project alive and online. For that reason, all fees and donations are non-refundable at this time.
* Please submit a “lifetime membership request” using our Connect form after your donation of $333 or more and we’ll get you set up right away! Terms + Conditions apply.
