Local contributions are not mandatory, but they are enormously helpful, as we only get a small portion of dues that our members pay to National, and only from monthly (not annual) dues payments. Money from dues and donations paid directly to the chapter are used for printing materials, renting rooms, and other logistical needs. One-time donations are always appreciated, but regular monthly contributions allow us to build a more stable and sustainable organization. Your contributions help make sure that our organization is accountable to its membership alone.
If this is a one-time donation to a particular Central Indiana DSA initiative, please include it in the donation memo.
