Belonging Should Never Have a Price

GMA membership is free because we believe that community belonging should never be gated by a fee. When you join GMA, you and your entire household gain immediate access to every program, every event, and every service GMA offers — with no approval wait — and voluntary Patron and Grand Patron giving levels that sustain GMA.

Membership Categories & Fees

Per the GMA Bylaws (Section 4.2.1), membership is offered in the following categories. Joining is always free — the Student and Community categories carry no fee. Patron and Grand Patron are voluntary giving levels that sustain GMA.
