Newton at Home is a nonprofit organization of members, and membership fees ensure that Newton at Home can provide the valuable services and programs our members enjoy and continue into the future as a sustainable organization.
Membership fees currently account for approximately 30% of the Newton at Home operating budget. The remaining 70% comes from donations made by generous individuals and community supporters, as well as grants from foundations that have made it possible to keep our fees from increasing since 2016. (Members who are in a position to make a contribution over and above their membership fees are encouraged and invited to do so on the donations page.)
As of January 2025 Newton at Home offers monthly payment options in addition to our annual plans.
| Full Membership Plans (access to all services & social programs) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Member Type | Annual | Monthly* |
| Individual | $725 | $70 |
| Household | $850 | $80 |
* Monthly payments must be made with a credit card and will be billed through automatic bill pay and include an additional processing charge.
All existing NaH members who joined before January 2025 are grandfathered in on their current payment plans. If you would like to switch to a monthly payment plan please notify the office.
Social memberships are available to Newton residents who would like to have access to the Newton at Home social, cultural and educational programs, but do not need practical services or vendor referrals. Social members may attend all programs and events such as lectures, trips to museums and/or historical sites, and affinity groups.
The annual social membership fees are $240 for an individual and $360 for a household. Social memberships can be converted to full memberships at any time.
At Newton at Home, we believe that every older adult should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of our village community. In 2015, we established the Reduced-Fee Membership Plan (RFMP) to make Newton at Home membership more affordable to those of us with fewer resources.
