Annual membership fees:

Lifelong is committed to making our membership accessible to everyone. We offer a sliding scale for annual membership fees, and trust that you will choose an amount that reflects what you are able to pay and also your desire to support others in joining our community.

How to choose a membership level:

Membership fees support our mission of enhancing the lives of older adults in Tompkins County. Paying according to one’s resources creates a more equitable, diverse, and sustainable community.

Consider paying less on the scale if you…

are supporting children or have other dependents
have significant debt
have significant medical expenses not covered by insurance
qualify for government assistance
are a senior with a fixed income and little to no savings

*note: If the lower-range price of membership is still prohibitive, we will work with you in a confidential manner to offer extended payment plans & other solutions, both for membership and Lifelong programs

Consider paying more on the scale if you…

own the home you live in or rent a higher-end property
have access to financial savings
have the financial ability to travel recreationally
have expendable income
want to support others’ access to Lifelong membership

	Individual	Household
Lower-range	$20	$35
Base	$30	$55
