Charities Make Plans to Increase Prices of Tickets, Dues, and Other Fees

Many charities are ”taking a fine-toothed comb to their program and looking to enhance revenue,” says Dana Hines, president of Membership Consultants, a St. Louis company that works with arts and cultural groups. To that end, she says, many groups in recent months have performed audits of their membership and other revenue-producing programs.

Some organizations are raising the price of membership and other fees by 5 percent to 10 percent.
