How much of the SCBWI membership dues sent to the executive office in Los Angeles does Minnesota SCBWI get?
No part of the membership dues is given to Minnesota directly, but Minnesota members do receive indirect benefits from the membership fees. All the membership dues are used to fund the executive office expenses, print and mail the Bulletin, help finance the big conferences in New York and Los Angeles, provide grants, and much more. Minnesota SCBWI needs about $1,000 a year to finance the website, mentorship program, office supplies, postage, and other costs. All Minnesota SCBWI’s operating expenses are raised through profits from the conferences and, to a lesser extent, from sales of merchandise and newsletter and website subscriptions.
