Good morning,
The Ephraim Historical Foundation is more of an outlier, but hopefully this
will at least help some.
We have six Family Membership levels and two Business Membership levels,
with about 380 members.
*Membership Levels*
Founders Circle: $1000+
Sustaining: $500 - $999
Contributing: $250 - $499
Supporting: $100 - $249
Regular: $75 - $99
*Business Membership Dues Donation*
Business Membership: $150
(Includes listing for 1 Business)
Multi-Business Membership: $200
(Includes listing for 2 or more Businesses)
Attached are copies of our benefits. It is important to note, our museum
admission is now free, so that is no longer a benefit we offer. We
eliminated Lifetime Memberships several years ago. We will
occasionally bestow a Lifetime Membership on an individual or family
who has made a significant impact on the organization, but we do offer it
as a dues paying level.
