Monthly Payment Plan (Coming Soon!)

Supporting members also have the option to enroll in our monthly payment plan to spread payments across 12 months. 

When someone purchases an Adventurer, Innovator, or Patron membership with their credit or debit card, the first installment is due at the time of purchase and the remaining installments will be charged monthly for the next 11 months. The membership, whether paid in monthly installments or in full, has the option to automatically renew 12 months from the date the membership was purchased.
