How much? OPHA has updated our organization membership rates for 2025! Organization member dues are now calculated based on the type and number of memberships purchased instead of the size of the organization. In addition, OPHA now offers the following discounts for groups the following group sizes or types, applied after summing dues for the total number of individual and discount members. Please note discounts are not stackable, but if more than one applies to your organization the larger discount will be used.

1-199 memberships 25% discount
≥ 200 membership 35% discount
Education 45% discount
Nonprofit 45% discount

For example, a university purchasing memberships for 5 faculty and 15 students would be calculated...

( (5 individual memberships x $65) + (15 discounted memberships x $25) ) x (1 - 0.45 education discount) = $455

And a hospital purchasing members for 20 employees, 5 CHWs, and 2 students would be calculated...

(20 individual members x $65) + (7 discounted members x $25) = $1,475
