Membership Essentials
Membership is by a tax-deductible donation each financial year (apart from a Life Membership).
Voting for Grant Recipients: To vote at our Annual Grant Awards Celebration, held each year in Oct/Nov, members must pay their membership fee by June 30.
This allows members to have a say (vote) for how pooled funds are allocated each financial year.
Membership remains active until June 30 of the financial year of your last donation.
If you don’t renew by June 30 of the subsequent financial year, your membership will expire and you will be ineligible to vote for grant recipients the following Oct/Nov.
Membership Renewal: We’ll send you a membership renewal reminder 12 months after your last donation. Your timely renewal ensures your continue participation in our impactful grant allocation process.
