Membership dues & dONATIONS

Volunteer Member Dues

The Montgomery County Master Gardeners collect voluntary dues from their membership as a sign of their commitment.  For the most part, our dues are intended to cover costs for the monthly speakers, MCMG general events, and social events. 

How to pay annual voluntary dues

MCMGers may pay their voluntary annual dues via credit card on the Eventbrite website. The cost is $28.52 = $25 dues + $3.52 processing fee during the annual membership dues campaign (January 16th through March 30th). 

Alternatively, you may send a check made out to the University of Maryland. Please mail all checks to the following address:

University of Maryland Extension
