A few comments
about our dues scale
The membership dues
scale has been developed through careful consideration by a
committee of members.
If you are a new
grantmaking organization and have not begun making grants, your dues
may be discounted. Foundations may exclude “pass-through” funds from
their dues calculations (funds that are totally restricted or externally
controlled, or where the foundation acts solely as a fiscal agent).
However, foundations should include restricted funds, including funds
that are part of an endowment or over which the foundation has some
control in allocating.
Don’t hesitate to pick
up the phone and call us! Maria Grace, our Membership
Manager (206-443-8432) will be pleased to answer any questions you may
have.
