Become a Member

One of the most meaningful ways to support the American Friends of Sufi Arts, Culture, and Knowledge™ (AFSACK®) is through donorship. By joining, you become part of a worldwide circle of friends and patrons dedicated to sustaining and sharing Sufi arts, culture, and knowledge, while enjoying select benefits in collaboration with the Musée d’Art et de Culture Soufis MTO® (MACS MTO®).

Donor levels and recognition are determined by the cumulative contributions received from January 1 to December 31 of the preceding year and reset each January 1. Contributions received from January 1 onwards determine your level and associated benefits for the following year.

Policies

​Determining your level

Your donor level is calculated based on the actual funds received by AFSACK within a given calendar year (net of refunds or chargebacks) and resets to zero each January 1. Multi-installment or recurring donations count as they are received. Employer matching gifts are credited once received and verified, and will appear in your donor record for that calendar year. Pledges are recognized upon receipt, not at the time of commitment.

​Activation

Benefits begin on January 1, according to cumulative contributions received from January 1 to December 31 of the preceding year. Priority access and invitations are subject to capacity and are not guaranteed.

​Young Benefactor Eligibility

Eligible through December 31 of the year you turn 36.

​Recognition cadence

Website donor lists and physical donor walls are refreshed at least once a year.

​Transfer & resale

Donor benefits, codes, and invitations are personal and non-transferable to family or friends (except for named Dual Donorships). Resale or public posting of invitation links/codes is prohibited and may result in the revocation of benefits. ID may be requested at entry.

Guest access

Guest allowances are limited and subject to capacity and security protocols.

Event changes

Programs, dates, and benefits are subject to change; we reserve the right to modify or substitute benefits.

​Refunds

Charitable contributions are generally non-refundable, except in the event of a processing error.

American Friends of Sufi Arts, Culture, and Knowledge is a 501(c)(3) organization. Within the limits prescribed by law, your donor contribution is tax-deductible. Certain donor benefits may affect eligibility; please consult your advisor regarding donor advised funds, private foundations, or IRA rollovers.
