Membership Dues Hardship Waiver Request
IFT is committed to providing assistance to current members who have been affected by economic hardship. One of the ways we are doing so is by waiving membership dues for one year, when possible, for members who are experiencing financial hardship.
To be considered for a membership dues waiver, a member must meet the following criteria:
- Be a current IFT Premier or Networking & Engagement member in good standing. Emeritus and Student members do not qualify as these member types receive significantly discounted membership.
- Have been a paid member for the past two years.
- Be experiencing financial hardship due to unemployment, medical illness, disability, or catastrophe.
