Benefits to the Organization

• When the IFAC applies for grants, we often need to indicate our level of support in the community for our activities. Having a strong membership shows funding agencies that we have good community support.

• By having a membership fee that is renewed annually, the IFAC is able to maintain an up-to-date, accurate list of members.

• Even though our membership fee is only $10, this small amount adds up when we have many members. We have regular bills to pay such as insurance and banking fees. Membership money helps with these ongoing operating expenses.

Benefits to the Community

• Arts activities enrich the quality of life for residents.

• An active local arts scene helps make a community a better place to live.

• A thriving arts scene makes it easier to attract top talent to the community.

• The arts are important to a community's economic well-being.

• Arts activities attract tourists.

By purchasing an annual $10 membership, members show their support for the arts in their community.
