Explanation of Club Payments

1. Annual Dues
At Convention '96, delegates voted to amend Quota bylaws to provide that international dues be paid on an annual basis. International dues, collected by clubs and paid once a year, are U.S.$45 per member.

2. Annual Advance Convention Fee
All clubs are required to pay the annual U.S.$100 advance convention fee. This fee, paid by all clubs whether or not they send a delegate to the biennial convention, funds international governance-related activities including the mailing of international election information, credentials, balloting and voting procedures, and proposed bylaws to all clubs. It also funds international elections conducted on-site at convention as well as the absentee balloting process used by clubs that do not send voting delegates to convention. The advance convention fee funds the annual mail ballot election process used to elect area directors in areas.

3. Club Donations
Quota International has two funds that members and clubs support with donations—one fund supports Quota’s development and growth (the Wanda Frey Joiner Development Fund) and one fund supports international service, the We Share Foundation. Quota also accepts all donations for the Club-to-Club World Service Program. For details on Quota’s donation programs, click here.
