InterAction Dues Policy

Edited: January 6, 2011

InterAction's membership dues are calculated at .15% of internationally related expenses* with minimum dues of $2,000 and maximum
dues of $44,000 in 2011.

Excluded from the dues base are:

1. commodities in-kind and ocean freight;

2. domestic programs (not overhead) that have no relationship to international activities, programs or issues;
3. pass-through expenditures, defined as: "an amount of money that is either granted or sub-granted, over which the member
has little control with respect to the beneficiaries to whom it is given; the amount and when it will be spent; and for which the
agency receives no administrative fee or indirect cost rate." (Management and general expenses allocable to such grants are
not excludable.);
4. sub-grants made to an InterAction member. To avoid double counting grants for dues assessment purposes, only the sub-
grant recipient includes these funds in the dues base; and,
5. activities ordinarily conducted by an accredited degree-granting educational institution.

*Internationally related expense is defined as: “any expense incurred either inside or outside the United States which relates to
or supports activities, programs, or issues outside the United States.”

An example of calculated dues:

The organization HelpUS has annual expenses of $10,000,000, but has in-kind expenses of $450,000 and a domestic program with
expenses of $975,000. The InterAction dues fee would be calculated as follows:
$10,000,000 Annual Expenses
- 975,000 Domestic Program Expenses
- 450,000 In-kind Expenses
$ 8,575,000 Assessable Expenses
x .0015
$12,863 Annual Dues
Therefore, HelpUS would pay annual dues of $12,863 for membership in InterAction.

Those members that are near or at InterAction’s ceiling have international expense budgets ranging from $20 million to over a billion.
Because this is a wide range of financial position a stepped schedule for dues near our maximum levels has been adopted.
Below, please find dues for members falling within this band structure.
