There are no dues for membership in Al-Anon. The only requirement for any contributor to Al-Anon is to be a member, and the only requirement for membership is to be affected by the disease of alcoholism in a friend or relative. When the basket is passed at in-person meetings, we are reminded that all contributions are voluntary.
Why Donate?
While contributions cover each group’s rent and other expenses, the Seventh Tradition is essential at every level of Al‑Anon
service. It is both a privilege and a responsibility for groups and
members to ensure that not only their group, but all service levels
remain self‑supporting. This keeps Al‑Anon free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose of supporting families and friends of alcoholics.
In keeping with Al-Anon’s Tradition
Seven, Al-Anon is self-supporting, accepting contributions only from
Al-Anon members and declining outside contributions.
