A Membership Program does not mean that access to our Internet-based information will be pulled behind a membership “pay wall”. We remain committed to serving the public by making our data available without the need to establish and continue to be a member. In fact, by installing a membership model, we intend to protect our ability to provide data to the general public at no cost. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit registered in the United States, which means that no one owns JRI-Poland. All membership funds raised go to our organization, and all positions within our club are volunteer with the exception of our accounting person. As we've grown, the demands on our accounting specialist have grown and it became impossible to find a volunteer to continue in this role. By the way, our “sister” organizations such as LitvakSIG and Gesher Galicia have had membership dues implemented since their founding. We have selected a dues amount equal to three times “chai” (3 × $18 = $54 USD). To become a member, please click on the link to our donation page.
