Membership & Donations
What does my membership do?
As part of your House of Gordon membership, you will be a part of both the national and local societies. You also have a chance to contribute to our Scotland Charity – The Gordon Highlander Museum in Aberdeen, Scotland. As well as the “Charles O. Gordon Memorial Scholarship Fund” which provides scholarships to aid our youth, and the young at heart, in further studies of the Scottish arts and education.
How much is a Gordon membership?
Membership dues are $25.00 and payable July 1st annually. There are options to pay for a year, two years, four years, or even a Lifetime.
Where does my money go?
- These dues represent $10.00 to the national organization, $10.00 to the local division, and $5 are designated to the Gordon Scottish Heritage Charities Fund.
- Additionally we have the Charles O. Gordon Scholarship Fund & The Gordon Highlanders Museum Fund that the House of Gordon USA and our members support.
- Each new member will receive in the mail, a Membership Certificate and card. Renewing members will receive their annual member card in the mail. All Family members are encouraged to participate in our activities.
- The National Board expects to send a minimum of two newsletters, one printed in May and one emailed in December, per year. Your local division may also have a newsletter that you will receive.
What’s the Lifetime Membership?
The Lifetime Membership is a one-time due of $500 that lasts your lifetime. It’s a great option for those who do not want to have to remember to renew every year or so or those who want to gift a membership to the younger generation. The dues get distributed the same as the regular memberships: $200 to the national organization, $200 to the current local division, and $100 to the Gordon Scottish Heritage Charities Fund.
What do I receive for the Lifetime Membership?
Being that we are a charity organization our first and foremost priority is to promote the House of Gordon and it’s charity. That being said we want the Lifetime Membership to feel a little more special since it is a large chunk all at once. Therefore you will receive: a special Lifetime Member Certificate, a Lifetime membership card, a Welcome letter from the current President of the House of Gordon USA, a House of Gordon Postcard, a Gordon pin, and a Challenge Coin. This is in addition to the two annual national newsletters that all current members receive.
