To purchase a membership, fill out this form:

Please note: we now use a service called Zeffy to process our payments. Zeffy is made specifically for non-profits to eliminate transaction fees so that every penny goes to us.

Zeffy relies entirely on donations to operate, and at the end of the form, they will ask for a donation to help them continue to operate.

A donation to Zeffy is not required to purchase a membership, and any money donated in this way does not go to ETV. If you do not wish to make a donation to Zeffy, just select other in the drop down menu of your order summary & enter $0 in the donation field.
