Membership Organizations
What is a membership organization?
A membership structure is not unique to HFM, though not every nonprofit organization adopts this model. Membership organizations, like HFM, prioritize their constituents by providing them a formal pathway for participation in key decision-making. Each year, our members gather at SpringFest—our annual conference, to review the progress of the organization and when necessary: to vote on issues.
The membership program is outlined in HFM’s by-laws and an excerpt may be found below.
Why should I join as a Member?
Membership is a way for you to have a voice as many formal decisions are made. Have you ever wanted to vote on board members? Members have that privilege. At times, members have been called upon to vote on changes to our by-laws and other issues. Through membership, you have a chance to shape the future of HFM.
What benefits will I receive as a Member?
In addition to voting privileges, members are invited to a members-only reception at Springfest—HFM’s annual conference. Members will also receive some special swag and the appreciation of your community!
How do I become a Member?
Please fill out the form below. There is a $40 yearly fee per household, or you may opt to become a lifetime member for $1,000. Membership serves first-and-foremost as an opportunity to take an active role in the community. If you or a member of your immediate family have a bleeding disorder and find the yearly fee to be cost-prohibitive, please reach out to Carrie McCulloch at cmcculloch@hfmich.org. Scholarships are available.
