What does ICAN do with my membership money?
ICAN divides the money collected from memberships between the local chapter and the national organization, when a local chapter is named as beneficiary. Local chapters keep 30% of the membership funds to use for meetings, events, activities, or education as needed. The remaining 70% is used by the national organization to pay for the website and software, tax assistance, insurance, postage, and all things that keep organizations of this size running. ICAN operates with a very small budget, and the Board of Directors works hard to use those funds wisely. ICAN is 100% volunteer led and operated, including the Board of Directors.
