Associations Need Non-Dues Revenue
Non-dues revenue is any income that your association generates that does not come from membership fees. Having income streams beyond member dues is key to keeping your association sustainable. Non-dues revenue provides a wealth of benefits for your association by supplementing your financial resources. You’re better able to invest in programs and member services, support your association’s technology and staff, and keep membership fees affordable.
Higher Logic Thrive opens up tons of opportunities to bring in more revenue – many of our existing customers have more than paid for the cost of their platform by selling sponsorship, advertising, and job postings.
Explore our tips and resources below to help you create and maintain a successful non-dues revenue strategy.
