Membership is open to every person who wishes to join our community.
The nature and extent of participation depends on individual needs and interests. Newcomers are especially encouraged to participate regularly so they can get to know members personally and discover what they want to get from their community membership. All members make an annual financial pledge. Contribution guidelines among Ethical Societies range from 2 to 5 percent of income which is the approximate level necessary to maintain a successful community program. However, there is no set membership fee, and no one is excluded because of an inability to pay or participate.
