Each WI Member pays a subscription fee for her membership. Subscriptions rates are set by the NFWI Board of Trustees, after consulting the National Council (which is made up of representatives from each Federation).
Subscription payments for the 2023-2024 year will be due from members in April 2023.
The membership subscription for 2023-2024 is £46.00.
WIs now have the flexibility each year to decide whether to either waive their portion of the subscription fee, reduce it slightly, or keep it the same. If you need advice on this, please contact your WI Adviser whose details can be found in the Year Book. Or click here to find out more about the subscription flexibility initiative.
The distribution of the 2023-2024 subscription is as follows:
| Total 2023/2024 Subscription | WI Share | Federation Share | NFWI Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| £46 | £22.60 | £10.80 | £12.60 |
Pro-rata subscription for new members in their first year
New members joining the WI from April 2023 for the first time will pay a pro-rata subscription depending on the quarter in which they join.
The same applies to new members who have not previously been a member of any WI in the past 12 months.
The rate per quarter and the distribution are shown in the following table:
| Date of Joining | Total Subscription | WI Share | Federation Share | NFWI Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Apr 2023 - 30 Jun 2023 | £46.00 | £22.60 | £10.80 | £12.60 |
| 1 Jul 2023 - 30 Sept 2023 | £34.50 | £16.95 | £8.10 | £9.45 |
| 1 Oct 2023 - 31 Dec 2023 | £23.00 | £11.30 | £5.40 | £6.30 |
| 1 Jan 2024 - 31 Mar 2024 | £11.50 | £5.65 | £2.70 | £3.15 |
New WIs starting from April 2023 will keep all of the subscriptions paid by their members in 2023/24 membership year.
