WHY DO WE HAVE DUES?

Eastside Explorers has been actively supporting homeschooling families since 1989. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission.

The dues we collect from each family are necessary to cover insurance on each event we sponsor. This substantial insurance policy is required for facilities rentals for events at venues such as Scottsdale Bible Church and locations owned by the City of Scottsdale.

Additionally, the monies collected pay for our website maintenance fees and room rentals for classes and special events. As a non-profit organization, we seek only to cover our costs.

Occasionally a fundraiser may be initiated to benefit seasonal parties, provide member scholarships and/or provide items needed for service projects.

Annual dues are the only necessary monetary commitment required by each family in order to benefit substantially from membership in Eastside Explorers. There are opportunities for classes, field trips and occasional special events in which an additional fee is necessary.
