We invite you to consider membership in FaithFutures Foundation, at a level of involvement that seems most appropriate to your circumstances: Individual, as a Group, or as an Affiliate organization. Further details of Group and Affiliate memberships are given below.
I look forward to your company in the quest for religious practices that are invigorated by their open engagement with the best of human insight.

Individual Membership
Individual members are persons who support the work of the Foundation, but for whom participation in a local FFF Circle is either not possible or, for whatever reason, not appropriate. They have access to all the resources and services provided by the Foundation, but do not participate in its governance and leadership.
They make an annual membership contribution of at least US$25.00 (or its equivalent), but do not have a stake in the governance and decision-making processes of the Foundation.
Group Membership
Groups and organizations that subscribe to the Preamble, Purpose and Principles of the Foundation may register as a local FFF Circle. Local Circles are central to the Foundation’s mission as encouraging local collaborative activity is our ultimate goal. We have set ourselves the objective of identifying, encouraging and supporting local grassroots activities. One of the key performance indicators for the Foundation will be the number of local circles that are registered.
Circle members accept the rights and responsibilities of membership. In addition to the membership benefits enjoyed as individuals, they share in the collective ownership and leadership of the Foundation. Circles may initiate action and research at their own level of organization. They offer and receive mutual support, select Trustees to the Global Council and, in their own context advance the process of imagining and implementing the forms that religion will take as it integrates traditional knowledge and new insights emerging from the arts, economics, the humanities, scientific research and technological development.
Circles make the same annual $25.00 (or equivalent) membership contribution as Individual or Affiliate Members, irrespective of the number of persons in the Circle.
Affiliate Membership
Groups or organizations who support the Foundation's work but do not wish to undertake the rights and responsibilities of full membership, are encouraged to become Affiliate Members of FFF. Affiliates make the same annual $25.00 (or equivalent) membership contribution as Individual or Group Members, but do not have a stake in the governance and decision-making processes of the Foundation.
