Standard Membership is restricted to the Executive Director/CEO of not-for-profit organizations or charitable organizations recognized under the laws of the United States and Canada whose primary mission is to people who are blind or visually impaired and supports the purposes and values of the Alliance. Dues are based upon your organization’s annual operating expenses. This can be confirmed using your organization’s latest IRS form 990, line 18.
Associate Organizations can be nonprofit or for-profit organizations whose primary mission is not to people who are blind or visually impaired. Examples include but are not limited to eye banks, national associations, academic institutions, or research entities. The difference in benefits between standard Members and Associate Organization Members is that Associates do not have voting rights. Dues are also based upon your organization’s annual operating expenses.
