Membership and Benefits

Membership is open to everyone, regardless of gender, who supports progressive and Democratic values. NBWDC has become a formidable presence in Orange County’s progressive communities because we do not sit by quietly when there is work to be done.

If you are not yet a member or were a former member, join today to maximize the benefits you can earn and enjoy during 2025.

Membership is $50 per calendar year (valid January 1 through December 31). 

If you are a Veteran or full-time Student, please contact NBWDC about rate options.  Appropriate verification will be required. 

We work tirelessly to seat Democratic candidates in our local, state and federal governments. With the support of our members and friends, we launch major get-out-the-vote programs and promote voter education through our regular topical meetings and sponsorship of a variety of community events.  We are active and vocal on social media and participate in local marches and demonstrations which focus on inclusion and equality for all.

Unique Benefits:  Our members receive unique benefits such as voting rights, delegate opportunities, members’ only news, invitations to special events and free admission to our monthly meetings.  See our full Member Benefits listing here.

Member Responsibilities:  As a member, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with NBWDC’s Club Bylaws and Code of Conduct Policy.  Both these documents provide the guiding principles for our organization and are required to be chartered by the California Democratic Party and Democratic Party of Orange County.

If your registered party affiliation is other than Democrat, we welcome you to submit a membership application for consideration as outlined in our Bylaws. Please contact NBWDC for more information.

We offer convenient payment options and encourage you to set up your membership payment on an automatic annual renewal so your benefits won’t expire.

Donations (GOTV & General Fund)

We rely on support from Democrats in all our local communities, even if you are not an NBWDC member.  GOTV donations are earmarked for voter education, voter outreach and supporting the campaigns of our local Democratic candidates. General fund donations are used for all other projects that help promote Democratic and progressive values, including event sponsorships, improvements to our communications infrastructure and so much more.

All donations, large and small, are put to good use.  Whether you donate a roll of stamps, make a recurring monthly or annual pledge, or a one-time payment by credit card or personal check, we appreciate each and every one.  Please use the links below for these types of donations.  Thank you!
