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
