Annual Membership Contribution
MN-PFC memberships cover the calendar year in which dues are paid and do not auto-renew. To renew, return to this page next year and make a new one-time payment.
We kindly ask members to cover credit card transaction fees. You may choose to contribute any amount to promote the safe and beneficial use of prescribed fire in Minnesota. Suggested contribution: $35. Thank you for your support!

Q. Why join MN-PFC?
Active members enjoy voting rights at MN-PFC meetings and access to our annual conference. Membership dues support ongoing efforts to sustain Minnesota's fire-adapted ecosystems, educate the public, and advocate in public forums.
Q. How do I maintain "active" status?
To maintain an active membership, simply return to mnprescribedfire.org/membership once a year and complete the form. The suggested annual contribution is $35.
Q. When does my membership expire?
MN-PFC memberships run on a calendar-year basis and expire on December 31 each year. In other words, if you pay your dues on December 30, your membership expires the next day. Calendar-year memberships keep things simple and make MN-PFC easier to administer, so we can focus on our mission.
Q. Who can become a member?
We welcome everyone who supports the stewardship of Minnesota’s fire-adapted ecosystems. MN-PFC members include researchers, land managers, practitioners, supporters, and community leaders.
Q. Why contribute more than the suggested amount?
MN-PFC relies, above all, on the time and sweat equity contributed by our members. We welcome any financial contribution above and beyond our suggested annual dues. Your dollars represent a significant measure of support for efforts to sustain Minnesota ecosystems that need beneficial fire to thrive.
Q. Is my membership tax-deductible?
Members who contribute exactly $35 do not qualify for a tax deduction because one of the benefits of membership is access to our annual conference. Contributions of more than $35 may be partially tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor. Minnesota Prescribed Fire Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Q. Can I become a member without a financial contribution?
MN-PFC welcomes members who do not wish to make a financial contribution; if that's you, please use the contact page to send us a message and ask to become a member. You are also welcome to join our mailing list without becoming a member.
