Membership Information
WAHC relies on financial support from individuals, families, union, community organizations, and government grants. In times like these, when workers and cultural institutions are endangered, we need your support more than ever. There are several levels of membership in WAHC. For all of these levels we offer an *Affiliate Plan which we hope you will consider when becoming a member of WAHC.
Benefits all Members of WAHC (regardless of the level of support) receive include:
- Twelve (12) month Membership.
- Membership entitles members to 10% discount in the Gift Shop.
- A tax receipt for the amount of the donation. (*Affiliate Plan members, who give monthly, get an annual receipt for their total donation.)
- An automatic subscription to our publication Worklines.
- A listing in our Annual Report.
- One vote per membership at our Annual General Meeting. (According to the bylaws, your donation must be received at least 30 days prior to the November AGM to be eligible to stand for office, or to vote.)

PAYMENT INFORMATION
We can accept a single cheque or a series of post-dated cheques, and VISA, Mastercard, or American Express credit cards. Tax receipts will be sent out prior to January 31st of the following year. Please make cheques payable to "Workers Arts & Heritage Centre." If paying by credit card, please include the full number, expiry date and authorization signature. For security reasons, we are not able to take membership applications on-line at this point.
The *Affiliate Plan allows you a cost effective way to make a continuous year-round commitment to WAHC with an automatic contribution. It's paperless and you get peace of mind, knowing your support is continuing to come to WAHC for as long as you want it to and you will not be bothered with annual mailed renewal notices. Simply pledge to give a monthly amount and have it conveniently debited from your VISA, Mastercard, or American Express until you ask us to stop. If necessary, you may stop the contribution at any time in the future by writing, emailing, or calling us. Choosing the *Affiliate Plan means that an annual pledge of $120 becomes a more manageable donation of $10 per month. A $600 pledge is $50 per month. The total of your annual pledge determines the level of benefits you receive. Please check off the *Affiliate Plan box on the Membership Form. We hope you'll become an *Affiliate member at the level you can afford.
