Membership-based organization

A membership-based organization is a group where individuals or entities join voluntarily to access specific benefits, services, or rights. Members typically pay dues or meet certain criteria, giving them a shared stake in the organization’s purpose. Examples include professional associations, clubs, or non-profits. Such organizations often facilitate networking, information sharing, advocacy, or resource access tailored to their members' interests or needs. The structure emphasizes collective participation and often relies on member contributions to operate and pursue common goals.
