Upcoming Changes

What we know so far

In 2025, LWVUS will be implementing a new membership system with the following goals:

• Expand and diversify membership by eliminating financial barriers to participation 
• Adjust division of dues among national, state, and local chapters to increase funding of state-level leagues where most voting rights advocacy takes place
• Simplify the process  of joining the League or renewing
• Streamline administrative efforts at all levels

What does this mean to you?

• Currently our annual dues are $80.  In 2025, we will be moving to a variable dues amount, with a recommended rate of $75.
• You will be able to set up auto-renewal of your membership.
• Many members add a donation to their $80 dues when joining or renewing.  Currently,  the amount over $80 goes directly to our local league.  In 2025, the entire amount paid at joining or renewal  will be distributed among the local, state, and national leagues
• You will still be able to donate directly to our local league on the Donations page of our web site.
• There may be portions of your dues that will not be tax-exempt, but donations to our local league will remain tax-exempt.
