Understanding APPA Membership Dues

An APPA membership is valid for 1 calendar year. Each year, APPA automatically processes membership renewals near the end of an expiring membership. Membership renewal invoices are sent to the primary point of contact for each organization as well as the billing contact(s). All membership invoices can be paid online via credit card or ACH payment. Details for paying by check are included in the invoice. All APPA dues are calculated and payable in U.S. Dollars (USD).

Dues Types Calculated Based on Institutional Spending

For the following membership types, APPA membership dues are calculated based on the annual budget for each organization. The official term for organizational spending is "Gross Institutional Expenditure" or GIE. For most organizations, APPA receives its GIE data from public government sources. Specific dues amounts per GIE category are available on the following pages:
