MEMBERSHIP

Effective with 2023, Foundation Membership is on a calendar year basis and starts at (US) $75 (per year).

If you wish to join after July 1st of a year, we offer a year-and-a-half option, meaning your Membership commences upon payment and extends through the end of the next calendar year. This cost is (US) $100 (for up to 18 months), after which you annually renew.

For this, paid Members will receive our rosette and a copy of our new, annual e-publication, the Blue Dove. (Members and friends receive our quarterly newsletter, The Diligent.)

For those wishing to contribute more, we also offer Patron membership levels as follows:

• Platinum…$1,500.00

• Gold…$1,000.00

• Silver…$500.00

• Bronze…$250.00

Patron members will be recorded in the next quarterly issue of The Diligent and in the end-of-year, members-only e-publication, The Blue Dove.

Whatever level you choose, your financial support is greatly appreciated. Funds raised through annual dues and patronage donations are applied to special projects that we co-fund or fund at the College of Arms.
