Annual membership dues are based on the amount of philanthropic dollars distributed by organizations in the latest reporting year, unless you are a student, government agency, or professional advisor (see specialty categories below). For members headquartered outside of Indiana, dues are based on philanthropic giving only within Indiana. Annual membership terms follow the calendar year (January 1 to December 31), with dues applied accordingly.
