ECFA Member Fee Schedule

The member fee is based on the highest of the following:

A. Our cash contribution income

for the latest 12-month fiscal year. Cash contributions are those received in all net asset classes (unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted).

Include

  • Special event (banquets, golf outings, etc.) revenue net of direct expenses
  • Private foundation grant money received
  • Donated marketable securities (publicly-held) received
  • Pledges (net pledges recorded as assets and revenue — ECFA provides members an option of only including payments on pledges in cash donated income instead of net pledges. Either method must be consistently followed for ECFA fee calculation purposes.)

Exclude

  • Government grants (federal, state, and local)
  • Privately-held securities
  • Noncash gifts (gifts of services, real estate, clothing, furniture, etc.) — Note: the donation of publicly-held marketable securities is considered as cash contributions for the purposes of this calculation

Please select your cash contributions from Table A.

Table B

Total Revenue:

  At Least But Less Than Member Fee Is
$10,000,000 $30,000,000 $1,150
$30,000,000 & UP $2,300

Example 1: An organization’s cash donated income is $2.5M and total revenue is $5M. Cash donated income results in a fee of $1,100. Table B does not apply since total revenue is less than $10M.

Example 2: An organization’s cash donated income is $2.5M and total revenue is $35M. The member fee is $2,100 based on total revenue since it is the highest fee resulting from the two options.
