MAPMG Retired Physicians Association has been funded by its leadership team since inception.

 

Currently, our costs are relatively low, approximately $600 annually to maintain our website, our Domain Name "MAPMGRPA.com," Zoom access, as well as other minor costs.  With inflation and growth in membership, these costs are likely to escalate slowly over the years.   As we discussed summer 2023,  since MRPA belongs to ALL of us as members, these costs should be borne by the membership at large.   

 

Because we are not a licensed corporation, we cannot formally ask for annual dues.  Instead, we are asking for Voluntary Contributions from our members to help defray ongoing costs.   We believe that if most members donate $15-20 annually, our expenses would be fully covered each year. 

 

In terms of the mechanism to donate, Doug Cappiello has agreed to become MRPA's unofficial Treasurer.   He has created a checking account ("MRPA Checking") at his bank, dedicated to receiving funds for MRPA, and using this account to pay any expenses that MRPA accrues each year.
