Where does my Monthly Membership Go?

Ever wonder how your $95 monthly membership is spent? 63% goes to cover the building costs like rent, electricity, trash pick-up, etc. If you include all the costs of the individual shops that percentage is 70%. Next is the cost of our staff in the Facilities, Admin and Membership areas at 21%. All other categories are 5% or less. For the full breakdown, see document below.

Any time you help fix something at the space or help with improvements, you are helping to offset some of these costs. Likewise grants, donations and other revenue like space rentals allows Asmbly provides additional revenue to cover other costs. Have more questions, feel free to reach out to me at treasurer@asmbly.org or nancy@asmbly.org.

Note: these figures do not include Education or Ceramics specific costs which are paid by Class Fees and the Ceramics membership.

I cannot independently verify if ACH is an available option for membership (I can’t edit my payment info), but could an ACH option be a way to drive down that 3% credit card processing?

Thanks for bringing this up! You are right that we do have a ACH option through Neon (our online payment system) https://asmbly.app.neoncrm.com/login and the fees are lower! You can click on your membership and then edit your payment method. Simply choose the ACH tab to enter your banking info to make the switch.
