Note: Membership dues are not tax-deductible. - Your membership dues payment will show up as three transactions on your account — one each to LWV-BF, LWVWA, and LWVUS. You’ll be a member of all three!
- Keep things simple by automatically renewing each year! Just select auto-renewal when you are paying your dues.
