Non-Dues Revenue

Non-dues revenue generation plays a crucial role in an association’s earning as membership dues can’t suffice to efficiently run the association. Membership dues take up only a small part of the association’s annual revenue. Any earnings, other than the membership dues, such as fundraising, job boards, merchandising, premium content selling (courses and podcasts), partnerships, advertisements on mobile app and websites, and offline and online learning with certifications, seminars, courses, and workshops, to name a few – are counted towards non-dues revenue. MapleLMS being an AMS integrated top learning management system for associations leverages your online and offline learning for non-dues revenue while enhancing stakeholders’ learning experience through gamified courses, increasing course sales.
