PFLAG Phoenix Membership

 

Become a Member / Support Our Work!

First, you do not have to be a dues-paying PFLAG member to participate or volunteer with our PFLAG Phoenix chapter.  Of course, we encourage everyone to become dues-paying members (or contributing supporters) to help us fulfill our mission of support, education, and advocacy.  Regardless of whether you become an official member or not, we hope that you'll continue to come and participate fully in all activities of our chapter.

There are two types of PFLAG membership:

  • Membership at the "national" level (i.e., directly with PFLAG "National")

  • Membership at the local level (i.e., directly with PFLAG Phoenix)

We hope that you'll join at the local level so that more of your funds will benefit our chapter and, ultimately, our community.  If you were to join at the "national" level, all your funds would be put to use at the national PFLAG office for their projects, staff, etc.  While that is certainly worthwhile to support, none of those funds come to our local community.  Therefore, if you join at the local level, your funds are assured to be put to work right here in Phoenix and the surrounding area (note:  with a local membership, we are required to pay $15 per household to the national organization to help support their work, so you still help them out even by joining at the local level).


The benefits of membership with PFLAG Phoenix include:

  • The welcoming support of families and friends at local support meetings
  • Monthly issues of the PFLAG Phoenix newsletter
  • Automatic membership with PFLAG "National"
  • Quarterly issues of PFLAG National's newsletter, The PFLAGpole
  • Opportunities to act against homophobia
  • "Action Alerts" from a multitude of local and national sources (via optional free email subscription)
  • "News Updates" from a multitude of local and national sources (via optional free email subscription)
  • Discounts on PFLAG National publications
  • Invitations to local, regional and national events and conferences
  • Voting privileges for PFLAG National board members

YES, I want to join PFLAG Phoenix and support it's mission
of support, education and advocacy!

A note about our annual PFLAG Phoenix membership drive:

PFLAG Phoenix must remit a portion of the dues payments we receive from chapter members annually to PFLAG National.  "National's" annual fiscal year ends September 30th and we are required to submit our dues payment to them the following month in October.  Therefore, it was approved by our PFLAG Phoenix Steering Committee that future chapter membership drives will be conducted each year in September so that dues payments may be collected and payment remitted to "National" in October of each year.  Consequently, our PFLAG Phoenix membership year will run from September 1st through August 31st of each year.  All membership dues received up through August 31st will be applied to the current chapter membership year.  All membership dues received on September 1st or after will be applied to the new chapter membership year.
