Benefits of Membership
As a member of Cosmos, you’ll receive the following benefits:
- Participation in monthly community meetings and events with other Cosmos members

The minimum contribution to qualify as a Sustaining Member is $8/month or $96/year.
Non-Monetary Contributions
For people who do not have the financial means, we welcome service-based and in-kind contributions. This could include performing a variety of tasks, such as community moderation, assisting with events, or providing support for our writers and artists. Please contact us if you would like to become a Sustaining Member through contributing labor or other resources that could be of benefit to the Co-op.
Disclosures
Please note that because Cosmos is registered as an L.C.A. (Limited Cooperative Association) rather than a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, contributions to Cosmos are not currently tax-deductible. Part of the legal work we are doing will involve exploring how Cosmos can accept larger contributions or even investments, with beneficial tax implications.
Cosmos Cooperative practices transparent accounting. We hold monthly meetings of the Finance Circle, which all members are welcome to attend, and can provide details about all our income, expenses, and obligations upon request.
