Why Do We Charge for Membership?

Like all nonprofit organizations, Wellesley Neighbors relies on steady funding to keep our programs and services running smoothly. While we are fortunate to receive grants and donations, these resources alone cannot cover all of our expenses. Membership fees are an important part of our financial foundation. Membership fees help us:

• Support our staff ensuring we have dedicated professionals to coordinate services, manage volunteers, and keep everything running efficiently.

• Maintain operations covering essential costs such as insurance, software, printing, and administrative expenses.

• Deliver services supporting volunteer vetting and training, transportation coordination, social and educational programming, and access to vetted service providers.

• Sustain our mission ensuring that members can count on us for reliable help, engaging activities, and a caring community of support.

Importantly, WN membership remains among the most affordable of any Village in the region. By design, our dues are lower than many similar organizations, making it possible for more older adults to participate, regardless of income level.

Membership fees help keep Wellesley Neighbors strong and sustainable. While donations and grants cover much of our budget, membership dues ensure we can maintain professional staff, coordinate volunteers, and offer the programs and services that make our community thrive. Your dues are not just a fee—they are an investment in independence, connection, and peace of mind, ensuring that Wellesley Neighbors will be here for you and your neighbors today and in the future.
