Membership Categories

 

We offer a variety of membership levels to help to make participation in PALCUS accessible to everyone.  As an individual or as an organization,  there is a way for everyone to participate in PALCUS’ work and mission.

 

PALCUS membership is open to anyone of Portuguese heritage who supports our mission. A special General Membership option is available to those of non-Portuguese heritage who have an interest in Portuguese American issues.

 

BECOME A SUSTAINING MEMBER!

 

A PALCUS Sustaining Membership has the benefit of continuous membership-in-good-standing without interruption. You will receive the continuous benefits of members-only invitations, special member rates, newsletters and reports without being inconvenienced. Moreover, you will be helping PALCUS reduce billing costs, i.e. paper, printing and postage,  and will support us with a steady stream of program funding.

 

How does it work?

PALCUS uses MemberPlanet to manage membership details and communication.

Members have the advantage of updating their profiles, receiving email blasts and special event notifications and more!  Your dues donation will be automatically charged to your account until you decide to discontinue it. This is a recurring payment option that is convenient for you and cost effective for PALCUS.

​

Need help or have questions?  Contact Gracielle Camilo, Executive Assistant at palcus@palcus.org or 202-466-4664 for assistance.
