All members must agree to the NFFS Member Code of Conduct.

Membership dues for foundry members are based on employee count measured in FTEs across all company locations. Membership dues are calculated as follows:

Employees (FTEs) Annual Dues Quarterly Dues
1-10 employees (FTEs) $1,200 per year $325 per quarter
11-50 employees (FTEs) $2,400 per year $625 per quarter
51+ employees (FTEs) $3,600 per year $925 per quarter

NFFS can provide a secondary membership to foundries that are owned by an existing NFFS member foundry. Secondary membership provide full access to NFFS member benefits. Please note that a foundry cannot become a secondary member unless it is affiliated with a primary NFFS member foundry.
Secondary members do not pay dues directly, but rather their employee count is added with that of the primary member. The total employee count of primary and secondary members is used to determine dues level. Please contact a NFFS staff member at (847) 299-0950 or info@nffs.org to inquire about membership for a secondary facility.
