There is also an opportunity to purchase a Lifetime ($1000) membership. We base this on 10 years’ membership at the current rate (for example, $350 for an individual) and the remainder (here, $650) is eligible for a tax receipt. We also encourage you to purchase a membership for a student (see the form) and to remember the Arts Council in your estate plans.
