We
have four different types of membership, and you can choose the most suitable
one for you!
1. General Membership:
1. Individual Membership: $101. Individual memberships are designed for a single person
and have benefits that are associated with that individual only.
2. Family Membership: $201. A family is a couple
and/with children under 18 years of age.
3. Special Membership:
a. Senior Citizen Membership (65
and above): individual - $51; Couple/Family - $101
b. Student Membership - $51
c. Persons with
Disabilities/Special Needs - $51
d. Veterans/Military Service -

2. Lifetime
Membership:
a. Any individuals, families,
and senior citizens can get lifetime membership. Individual and family
categories are required to pay their full membership fee of $2,500 within two
years of their enrollment. The payments can be processed in 4
installments. Seniors have an extended
period to submit the fee within five years, with a maximum of 5 installments.
This membership fee is ONLY applicable for two years, therefore anyone who
wishes to obtain a lifetime membership beyond March 1st, 2025, will have to pay
a fee determined at that time.
3. Founding
Membership:
All founding members of the
Om Center project are NOT required to purchase any membership to receive the
benefits of any activities or services hosted by the GBHO.
a. This is an exclusive
membership for the one hundred and eight (108) founding families who have
generously contributed $20k to support the foundation of the GBHO OM Center.
This is a perpetual, unalienable, and non-transferable membership. No new
individual or family outside the 108 founding members may be given a Founding
Membership. This is deemed to be an Active Membership through July 14, 2027. If
any of the founding members decide to collect their Loan amount ($20,000) after July 14, 2027, but wish
to assume their Active Founding Membership, they must pay the annual General
Membership fee, otherwise, the membership will default into Passive Founding Membership.
➔ Passive Founding Membership Passive Founding Membership
will ALWAYS have the opportunity to take part in any volunteering
opportunities. However, it will not qualify an individual/family to run for the
GBHO portfolio such as BoD, GBHO committee/sub-committee member, and will not have
voting rights.
➔ Active Founding Membership will have all the rights
mentioned above.
*Irrespective
of their status, all founding members inherently receive all the benefits and
services equal to other types of membership.
4. Honorary
Membership:
a. The majority of the GBHO
board will decide who is eligible to receive honorary membership by following
the criteria as directed by the bylaws. Honorary membership may be honored to
any individual worldwide who has been an influential dharmic contributor within
the Hindu community. They are not required to pay any kind of fees. In any
case, honorary members do not hold any decision-making position in the GBHO Om
Center.
