NEFA Membership Types and Dues

Membership in NEFA is held by the member entity, which includes a sole proprietorship or association (the “Member”). All branch offices of a Member using the same entity name are entitled to all membership benefits. All subsidiaries of a Member that use a different entity name must hold a separate membership for each entity. Dues are not charitable contributions under Federal Internal Revenue Codes but may be deductible as a business expense.


To ensure your organization is listed appropriately in the NEFA Community member directory select the membership type that best depicts your organization.
