Pay-it-forward memberships

If a membership fee is a luxury that you cannot afford this year, please send an email to ottawagarmentguild@gmail.com so we can work together to help accommodate your membership in the guild. We very much want to include as many people as possible, and recognize your right to privacy and discretion in making these requests.

What does my membership pay for?

The Ottawa Garment Guild is a non-profit organization, and all of our executive members are dedicated volunteers. Your membership fee allows us to pay for our meeting space and online infrastructure, invite special guest speakers, and put on special events at subsidized costs throughout the year. Funds collected through membership fees may also be used towards things that help us make meetings better for you, such as a projector for meetings, website maintenance, and incorporating the guild as an official non-profit entity.

If you have any questions about the financial status of the OGG, please email us: ottawagarmentguild@gmail.com.
