Membership Fee Changes

The Unicode Consortium is announcing changes to membership fees and categories. These changes include both the addition of a new membership category as well as a periodic adjustment of membership fees for inflation. These fee changes put the Consortium in a stronger position to continue its mission to enable people around the world to use computers in any language by providing freely-available specifications and data. Note also that a new category for Supporting, non-profit has been created. All other existing non-profit and individual memberships will have no change.

As of June 1, 2019, the annual membership fee will change as described in the following table:

Membership Levels	Current Fee	New Fee
Full	$18,000	$21,000
Institutional, governmental	$12,000	$14,000
Supporting, for-profit organization	$7,500	$8,750
Supporting, non-profit organization	N/A	$5,000
Associate, for-profit organization	$2,500	$2,900

Existing members may renew their membership early at the current fee if they renew by May 31, 2019.

The Consortium continues to offer a multi-year discount option for all membership levels, when renewal fees are paid in advance:

• 10 years, 20% discount
• 5 years, 10% discount
• 3 years, 6% discount

The Consortium also offers lifetime memberships to individual members. For further information please contact the Unicode office.
