Reminder: Starting January 2010 the year long transition to have Foundation Giving Clubs and benefits run on a calendar year instead of the previous rolling enrollment will be completed.
There had been confusion regarding when memberships began/ended as well as when benefits were valid. With a calendar year membership, we are certain that this will limit confusion (i.e. all donations made within a particular calendar year will provide access to benefits for that year only.)
FAQs
What if I just recently renewed my Foundation commitment at the end of 2009? You can choose to renew your commitment at any time during the year. However, the first donation of the calendar year provides access to the benefits (such as automatic enrollment in the NAA and its benefits which include Lampadion magazine, event discounts, etc).
How will other contributions made during the year affect my benefits? All donations made during the calendar year will accrue. The gift amount total at the time the desired benefit is used will determine the benefit level.
Can I still make monthly or quarterly donations? Yes. Donations can be made at any time during the year either through automatic charges to your credit card or debit account, by mailing a check to National Headquarters or by calling with a credit card number.
Can I roll benefits not used to the next calendar year? Benefits are only valid for the current calendar year and can not be rolled over.
