What CORE: costs

CORE: does not publish its fees. What is known (including figures reported by named publications, clearly marked as such) is set out below.

An initiation fee is paid once. Dues recur, usually annually, sometimes monthly. Many chapter-based organizations charge chapter dues on top of national or global dues, and retreats, travel and events are almost always extra. A figure marked “reported” came from a publication, not from the organization.

Initiation fee	Wikipedia states the price to join ranges from US$15,000 for an individual to US$100,000 for a Founding membership. The statement carries no citation in the article, so it is recorded here at low confidence.	Source ↗
Initiation fee	Founding membership: the club's 100 founder members were each asked to contribute US$100,000 and to nominate another person, per The New York Times (2011) and Entrepreneur.	Source ↗
