Modest, Symbolic, Dignity-Based
Membership contributions are not commercial income — they exist only to support engagement and participation, and remain deliberately modest. Senior tiers are honoured with reduced or honorary contributions.
| Category | Annual Contribution | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Silver (60–69) | Nominal | Engagement & participation |
| Golden (70–79) | Reduced | Dignity-based inclusion |
| Platinum (80–89) | Voluntary | Recognition-based |
| Diamond (90+) | Nil / Honorary | Lifetime honour |
