Membership Requirements
Initial Membership Contribution
$1,000 one-time tax-deductible contribution to the TLCWCF Annual Grant Fund.
Annual Administrative Fee
$25 annual administrative fee to support operational expenses.
Minimum Annual Contribution (MAC)
$500 annual contribution to the TLCWCF Annual Grant Fund beginning the following year.*
Many members find that their annual contribution — when combined with those of other members — becomes part of meaningful grants that support vital nonprofit programs in our community.
Important Timing Information
The Minimum Annual Contribution (MAC) supports the grants we award each year.
Members who join between October 1 and December 31 will not be billed the $500 Minimum Annual Contribution in the immediately following year, since their initial contribution occurs close to the end of the calendar year.
Instead, their first $500 MAC will be due the following year.
