MC Membership, What’s New?
Just the basics.
Member Term:
August 1, 2023 – July 31, 2024. We are excited to return to the standard year-long member term! Join or renew today!
Why The Changes?
In August 2022, Mission Capital engaged a Membership Advisory Council of 12 individuals, employed a series of listening sessions, and conducted a member offering survey. The information gleaned from these councils has been instrumental in what Mission Capital Membership will look like moving forward. We are deeply grateful to the community for sharing their insights and helping us offer these exciting new opportunities for you.
Who is membership for?
This newly designed membership program centers your organizational needs and includes items of interest for every single member of your staff and board. We encourage you to share emails and upcoming opportunities with everyone on your staff.
New this Year: During the signup process, you will have the opportunity to add your staff roster to ensure they get direct login information and access to online resources.
How will membership support my work?
You will find a variety of training opportunities and resources that will build capacity, give insights into potential structural improvements in your organization, and provide a meaningful benefit to staff.
What does the pricing look like?
Pricing is redesigned to center equity. Pricing is based on the combined number of organization staff and board members. The decision to do staff sizes rather than organizational budget was intentional because budget size requires us to make assumptions about how much of that funding is unrestricted.
Here is an overview of pricing for this year:

Renewing Organizations
If your organization has been a Mission Capital member in the past, please use the unique link that will be emailed to your organization’s Membership Contact on file with Mission Capital. This will pre-fill most of the application with you and ensure a duplicate account isn’t created, which can cause issues with your jobs board access.
If you are renewing, but your organization does not receive a link, you can use the membership join page and select “RENEWAL” to fill out a short form and have the link sent directly to you.
