Governance and Fees

Annual dues for individuals are $100. Please select one.
I can pay this reduced amount (in US Dolllars) this year.
Thank you for pitching in to cover other members dues. What amount are you willing to pay (in US Dollars) including your dues?
Membership dues are calculated as a percentage of a year’s expense budget. The sliding-scale dues formula is as follows:
  • Start with your expense budget for the last year. If you are a large organization and your data research and sharing need only involve one program, take the expense budget for that program.
  • Calculate 0.1% of this number for your projected dues.
  • If this is less than US$100, either apply the US$100 minimum.
Please enter the membership dues (in US Dollars) you calculated for this year as per the formula above.
