Refund eligibility is based on your membership renewal date and the value you received.
- Full Refund (100%): If you joined or renewed in January 2026 or later, you'll receive a full refund of your membership dues. You paid for a full year without knowledge that GlobalWA would be closing, so we're returning your full payment.
- Prorated Refund: If you joined or renewed between July 2025 and December 2025, you'll receive a prorated refund for the months you won't receive service (July-December 2026). Example: If you renewed in October 2025 for $125 (individual), you'll receive service through June 2026 (9 months). We'll refund the unused 3 months: $31.25.
- No Refund: If you joined or renewed before July 2025, you received the majority or all of your membership period before our closure decision was made, so no refund is due.
- Donation Option: Regardless of refund eligibility, you can choose to donate your refund amount to support GlobalWA's legacy preservation. This becomes a tax-deductible contribution, and we'll provide a donation receipt.
Refunds will be processed on March 13 through the same payment method you used for your membership:
- Credit card: Refund to original card
- Check: Mailed to address on file
