The Friends of Mount Athos is a registered charity in the UK. UK citizens are encouraged to make payments via Standing Order Standing Order Form and to please consider the benefits of Gift Aid to the Society (Gift Aid Form).

The Mount Athos Foundation of America (MAFA) was founded by a group of American members of The Friends of Mount Athos (FoMA)  and is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) U.S. charity, meaning that donations made to MAFA are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. tax law. 

Subscription rates are set in British pounds sterling. Subscriptions are also accepted in Euros and US dollars but may be adjusted from time to time as exchange rates vary. The rates quoted on these pages will take precedence over rates quoted in printed FoMA documents.

The annual subscription is renewable on 1 January. If membership is initiated between October and December, the first annual subscription also covers the following year.

Any amounts received which exceed the specified membership rate will be treated as general donations to the Friends of Mount Athos unless they are explicitly identified for a current appeal or project.

Credit card payments or payment through paypal accounts can be made directly on this website. Once your payment has been processed your membership details will be confirmed by email and sent to you.
