Special Considerations for Annual Memberships

  1. One-Time Transaction Costs
    Fees for an annual membership are deducted in full during the first payment.

  2. Distribution of Payouts
    Contributions for an annual membership are distributed over 12 months to allow for potential refunds if the project ends prematurely.

  3. Lower Overall Costs
    Annual memberships incur fewer transaction fees than monthly memberships since the fees are applied only once.
