> Us volunteers write code, make releases, do user testing, etc. Sam - I'm not aware that anyone here is other than "us volunteers". Dues are how many if not most normally functioning nonprofits operate. I am co-founder and treasurer of a small musical event nonprofit and dues are the major source of annual income to cover expenses. I am also on the board of a medium sized nonprofit (library support, >300 members) and the major portion of operating revenue is from dues. I pay dues to a musical instruction association, and vote for officers. Etc. I believe collecting dues is a fine idea. Arrangements are always possible for the levels - my musical nonprofit has regular dues at €20, family/household at €30, student/unemployed at €10, sponsor at €100 (their names are printed on the programs). Of course, dues paying members expect and are entitled to annual financial reporting. Sean
