Become A Member of Erie's Think Tank

Thank you for your support of JES and its mission! It is through the generosity of people like you that the Erie community continues to grow. Below is a breakdown of our membership levels and the benefits that you will receive with each level. Memberships are valid for one year from the date of purchase.

Memberships are tax-deductible only to the extent that the cost exceeds the benefits received. Please note that the benefits received in the Associate, Patron, Supporter, Contributor, and Friend levels exceed the cost of those memberships, and thus no portion is tax-deductible. You may choose to waive membership benefits at any level to make your membership a 100% tax-deductible donation. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please click here to donate.
