BUSINESS PARTNER MEMBERSHIP a) All business members will be invoiced according to the annual membership fee structure. PIE membership is ongoing and will begin the month the payment is received.
MEMBERSHIP FEES
There is a tiered membership fee structure in place. This is based upon the number of employees of each company. An annual fee of $500 would be the lowest member fee, however, businesses are encouraged to meet or exceed the scale recommended.
PIE business members are eligible to seek appointment as a member of the Board of Directors each year. In order to apply for the Board, a business partner must contribute $2,000 annually. If the annual membership fee is less than $2,000 the business member can provide approved in-kind services to equal or exceed the $2,000 amount needed to apply for the board.

For in-kind support to be recognized by the Board of Directors, a letter of intent must be submitted to the PIE Board Chairperson and approved by the board. "In-kind" services are defined as those services needed to operate and maintain PIE day-to-day operating expenses of the PIE office and staff. Examples are office space, telephone, office supplies, computer equipment, internet access and printing.
Tax deduction for donation - PIE is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS ACCORDING TO THE PIE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1 TO JUNE 30
b) Membership renewals are payable by July 1 for the upcoming fiscal year.
c) Business partners who join PIE during the fiscal year will be billed the full amount for the full year. Payment for the next fiscal year will be pro-rated based on the number of months in membership. For example, if a company has 110 employees and joins in November, membership fee is $2,000. Since they were members for 8 months, the renewal will be pro-rated to reflect only 2/3 of the full amount, or $1,333.33 for the second year.
