the Cost of Professional Memberships and Organizations

Membership dues for volunteer non profit organization I belong to can often be paid with cash or through volunteer time. Depending on the organization and its fund raising opportunities. We receive monthly magazines that tell us about other local chapters that have successfully donated or raised funds and how.

I belong to an organization the collects fees from members to defray the cost of "government" above that make decisions on the governing of the organization. They don't tell us what we can spend our money on just "how we may use it to better our community" somewhat. We are community based and only support what we choose to with the funds we raise that we feel will benefit from our help.

We are able to raise the funds from the community and either defray membership fees with the funds or have more to give to the causes we choose to support with our funds. We are not for profit so we do not ever have a profit. We do all kinds of good in our area and support what we like. With as much effort as we are able to donate, and with as much funds as we can donate, or just time, by way of raising funds over the phone or any other donations we can use for up and coming projects.
