This approach allows each member to give in a way that is meaningful and sustainable for them. Security and Facility Maintenance fees are assessed separately. No one is ever excluded from membership for financial reasons.

To estimate your contribution, use 2% of your household income. You can reference your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your tax return (line 11 on Form 1040), though any reasonable estimate is fine.
