What is membership?
Membership means something specific. It's different to being a "friend of OOFRAS" with general good will or general support. It's different to being a "stakeholder" with mutual interests or impact on each other. Membership means full rights and responsibilities of owning OOFRAS.
It's not about us. It's about service. We are not interested in collecting members who pay fees to be "serviced". . . rather our fees represent commmitment and solidarity in service of our vision.
How to become a member
Complete the form below including a pledge donation (amount of your choosing converted to USD) to apply for membership for one year.
OOFRAS Inc formally activates membership at the next director meeting in accordance to our Incorporated Association rules, but assuming a lack of convictions or conduct damaging to OOFRAS Inc undertaking vision & mission you can assume you're in!
Note, if you send a form without a pledge donation you will get a reminder that this is expected in membership application and/or help if there's a problem with the transaction using the form/PayPal. If there is no further contact within 30days of initial incomplete form, it is deleted.
Your membership must be current to vote (eg November AGM), hold official positions, administer resources, represent OOFRAS Inc etc. Relax, we will send an invitation to renew membership!
