Membership Fee And Structure
Major funding for the USCCD comes from generous corporations, foundations, philanthropists and individual citizen diplomats who believe in and support our mission of expanding international engagement. However, for the USCCD to fulfill its purpose, it is important to deliver genuine value to the organizations it was founded to promote and support. In turn, we ask citizen diplomacy organizations to participate as members.
Recognizing the perpetually tight budgets of non-profit organizations, every effort is made to keep membership fees affordable. Annual USCCD Membership fees are based on organizational budgets as follows:
| Org. Annual Budget | Less than $100,000 | $100,001 - 200,000 | $200,001 - 300,000 | $300,001 - 400,000 | $400,001 - 500,000 | Over $500,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Membership Fee (per year) | $100 | $150 | $250 | $300 | $350 | $400 |
