Founding Membership is a one-time, permanent seat in the Quality Assurance index. Only 100 will ever exist. Pledge the contribution you'd like to make alongside your application — the committee weighs intent, not amount.
Every paid application receives tangible value — even if you are not accepted.
The $100 application fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance. If you are declined, you still walk away with actionable feedback you can use.
