Membership Application: questions people ask

Are membership dues tax-deductible?

Dues to a 501(c)(3) may be partly deductible, minus the value of benefits received. Dues to other organizations, such as social clubs, usually are not. The organization should state the deductible amount.

Can members renew online?

Yes. Publish this form with the form builder or send the PDF for members to fill and sign electronically.

Does the member's signature bind them to the bylaws?

It shows the member agreed to follow them. Enforcement depends on the bylaws and state nonprofit law.

How should we store member data?
