  In this section, we will collect information about how you hope to engage with the AIC in terms of action and contribution level. MIDDAY aims to make AIC membership fees affordable for all, offered on a sliding scale of $15-$50. At the same time, we rely on membership fees to afford program costs:
  - A $30/month fee will enable MIDDAY to afford the costs of all our program benefits;
  - A $40/month fee will enable us cover the cost of program benefits and pay our staff for AIC admin time;
  - A $50/month fee will help us cover all program benefits, related staff time, and cover the cost of subsidize AIC membership fees.
  The Green Bottle chart, created by Alexis J. Cunningfolk with additions from Britt Hawthorne, expands our understanding of financial privilege and experience. We ask all applicants to review the chart below to determine the level you’re able to invest.

- MEMBER AGREEMENTS
  
  Please note that, although member benefits include access to MIDDAY's classes and programs, the Artist Impact Circle membership is not the same as a class card or class subscription.
  
  Collective action and visible impact take time and consistency. In order to succeed, the AIC will rely on dedicated engagement, regardless of your ability to attend class. If accepted into the membership, we ask you to maintain your AIC membership for at least six months.
  
  If your financial circumstances change during this time, please contact Marissa Molinar, MIDDAY Director, at marissa@middaymovement.org so we can adjust your membership price. We also ask members to stay engaged with MIDDAY to help us to flesh out and improve the AIC as the membership develops.
- I have read through the Member Agreements and commit to the terms described above.
