Fellow
Members applying to be Fellows shall be musicians, academics, music or divinity teachers, or students of music or religious studies, who are willing to promote the object of PRISM, and who share its ethos. Anyone registering to join PRISM is entitled to apply at the level of Fellow of PRISM (FPRISM), so long as they meet the pre-requisite criteria. There is no requirement to first be a Member or an Associate before applying for Fellow. All applications must first be approved by the Board of Directors before an applicant becomes a Fellow.
Associate
Associates are enthusiasts and/or practitioners of music at places of worship, communities of faith, or religious institutions, who are willing to promote the objectives of PRISM, and who share its ethos. You may apply to be an Associate of PRISM (APRISM), if you meet the pre-requisite criteria. There is no requirement to first be a Member before applying for Associate. All applications must first be approved by the Board of Directors before an applicant becomes an Associate.
Honorary Fellow
This highest level of recognition is reserved for those persons deemed to have made a significant personal contribution to PRISM and its aims. The awarding of an Honorary Fellow of PRISM (HonFPRISM) is by way of recommendation to and upon the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Membership fees
While PRISM is a Not-for-Profit organisation, there are associated running costs. Following a decision by the Board of Directors back in 2021, a three-year hiatus on membership fees was instituted. This was in acknowledgement of the growing unfavourable economic climate and global disruption in the wake of Covid-19. The Board is due to revisit this decision in 2025; any decision to re-institute a membership fee will be communicated to members through our Facebook social media platforms. Meanwhile donations are very welcome to assist with our projects and running costs.
