Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bang for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "'''please start a PayPal subscription'''". Links are above.
But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.75 and 3.1 percent.
Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:
* Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer
* Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)
For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment outweighs the processing fee. '''If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription'''.

Friends of Protospace

Our Friends are valued supporters and donors who believe in Protospace, but don't necessarily participate. Some are former members who have moved away. Some are parents or guardians of underage student members, or spouses of members. Other are just enthusiastic supporters of the maker culture. Friends are always welcome in the space, but they must be accompanied by a member except at public events. Friends cannot vote on member issues, and may have limited access to some tools or programs. We love and thank our friends for their donations and support!

Annual Donation of $110 per year | Monthly Donation of $10 per month | One-time Donation of $10

Friends usually donate $10 per month, or $110 per year. Larger donations may be made through a director or as a one-time payment.

Which Payment Method is "best"?

Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bang for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "please start a PayPal subscription". Links are above.

But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.75 and 3.1 percent.

Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:

  • Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer
  • Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)

For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment outweighs the processing fee. If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription.
