Subscriptions

The subscription mailing for 2012/13 has now started, so members will be receiving their subscription requests by email or post, depending on your contact preferences. You can also download the relevant forms below.

IfA 2012/13 subscription bands

From April 2012, subscription bands will be based on grade of membership rather than salary. This structure will continue to allow members on lower incomes to apply for a reduced subscription rate and to ensure a fair subscription for those who earn less than the recommended minimum salary for their grade of membership.

Subscription renewal documents are being posted or emailed to members (depending on your recorded preference) from Monday 20 February.

The new subscription bands allow for a more streamlined system, whilst still maintaining reduced subscription rates for those who may require it. The new system will be more effective to administer, but does not increase the subscription rates too drastically.

The subscription categories and rates for 2012-13 can be seen in the table to the right. You can also download a larger text PDF by clicking here. To download a copy of the 2012/13 subscription renewal form click here.

If your income is below the recommended minima salary for your grade of membership you can apply for a concessionary rate. For example, you may be an Associate (AIfA) member of the Institute and expected to pay an annual fee of £150. But if you are employed in a post that has PIfA-level responsibility and pay, you would then be able to apply for a reduction in your subscription fee to the rate paid by a PIfA member (£110). If you are earning less than the PIfA recommended minimum salary then you can apply for a further reduction to the PIfA concessionary rate of £67. If you work part-time you would also be eligible for a concessionary rate if your income does not meet the relevant recommended scale - as outlined above you would need to provide details of your income. The subscription rate for those who are not currently in employment will be £20.
