Membership contributions

The Micah Network does not have set membership fees. Instead we encourage all members to make an annual donation, contributing what they are able, and thereby helping to carry the financial load. We believe this practice reflects important Kingdom values.

Micah Network seeks to meet all of its core costs from member contributions. We also hope to obtain funding from private trusts to further develop the new initiatives contemplated by our Strategic Plan.

The Coordinating Group recognises that the Micah Network comprises agencies which differ greatly in size and resources. While many are operating in low-income countries with very modest budgets and may struggle to contribute this amount, others have greater financial freedom and may be able to contribute much more.Membership contributions

For 2006, the Micah Network Coordinating Group has set the following scale for membership contributions, in recognition of our members’ differing resources and with reference to our 2006 budget.

Main members

*We also recognise that some implementing agencies who are part of Micah Network may have comparatively high annual income, but may have little discretionary income. In this case, we encourage you to determine an amount that is reasonable in these circumstances.
