What if I can't afford to join at the full rate?

by David W. Oaks last modified 2010-01-21 23:27

This policy about discounts for low income members was adopted by the MindFreedom International board of directors in 2007.


Thank you for your interest in joining MindFreedom International at a reduced rate. MindFreedom members are mainly low income. The board of directors for MindFreedom International unanimously voted a policy of "something from everyone," at a rate to be set by the individual member.

That means that to be a current member, some donation for your annual membership is required. The recommended disconted low income rate of $20 annually. The regular annual membership rate of $35 or more. Whatever you give is okay, thank you, you can always give more later.

If an individual has absolutely no access to any funds at all, (such as because of imprisonment or homelessness, etc.), please submit a note in writing briefly explaining the circumstances and a six-month exception may be made.

MindFreedom International is proud to be one of the few totally independent nonprofit groups in the mental health field. MFI's independence policy is similar to Amnesty International, in that we have no funding from government, corporations or religions. That means that each and every member giving what you can is crucial for MindFreedom to continue its work for human rights and alternatives in mental health. Please join or renew now. Thank you!


For information about joining and donating go to http://www.mindfreedom.org/join-donate

Note that via that secure web page, you may automatically give a small amount monthly to help your budget. It adds up! Thank you!

We are MFI
