Pay Dues Here

We have a scaled dues structure, which recognizes the difference in financial means and professional budgets of religious educators working part- or full-time and a difference between new and longtime or credentialed religious educators. This helps to maintain equity and accessibility to the chapter for all, while also keeping our organization financially healthy and allowing us to continue our work.

Professional expenses for a religious educator should be about 10% of salary. Dues are calculated to be approximately 3% of your professional expenses. If your professional expenses aren't at the suggested level, or if your funds have already been budgeted for this year, please pay what seems appropriate for you. For our Canadian colleagues, please calculate your amount in US dollars then enter that in the custom amount field.

Pay dues using Raisely
