Membership
An AIIS membership helps support the operations of the Association for Interreligious/Interfaith Studies, including our annual corporation filings, website hosting and maintenance, and insurance for our directors and officers. The portion of a membership that exceeds the value of the benefits received is tax-deductible. For example, $17 of a $30 Professional/Practitioner Membership is tax-deductible; the 20% discount on registration to the Annual Meeting is valued at $13.
