How do I set my membership to auto-renew each year?
You can set your account to auto-renew each year. To do this, log into your account and go to the Manage Membership section. On that page, you can verify if your account is set up to auto-renew and if not, set up auto-renewal. Auto-renewal will have to be re-set up after any changes to your credit card number.

How do I update my credit card information for Membership auto-renewal once my card expires?
If your membership is still active:
Log into your membership account and navigate to Renew/Manage Membership. Once on the membership page, click on Renew Now on the table under the Current Membership header. Complete the renewal process with your new payment method. You can add auto-renewal if you would like during this process.
If your membership is expired:
Navigate to the Join Membership page and click on the Join Today button. You'll be prompted to log into your account. After you login in, proceed through the form to renew your membership with the new payment information. You can add auto-renewal during this process.
How do I add (or renew) a household membership to my membership account?
If you already have an Individual Print or Digital membership, you can add anyone living at the same address as a household member for $15. Household membership benefits are equivalent to an Individual Digital membership.
How you add a member differs slightly if they are someone entirely new to CFO (without an existing account) or if they already have a CFO account (i.e., have previously been a CFO member or registered for a CFO event). Please select the correct option for a PDF to walk you through how to add or renew a household membership.
Important: It is best to add/renew a household membership at the same time as you join/renew the primary membership. If you are adding/renewing a household member at a time different than when you (the primary account holder) are joining/renewing, double-check the enrollment dates. The membership dates of the household member are linked to the primary member's dates so the household member may get the dates of your current membership term which may not be accurate if you are intending to join/renew for an upcoming year. If you find any problems, please contact us.

Are my membership dues or donations to CFO tax deductible?
CFO is a 501(c)3 registered organization. Membership dues just barely cover the expenses of producing the journal and other direct support for membership, so those are not tax-deductible. All donations to CFO, including specific fundraising activities like the Colorado Birding Challenge, are tax-deductible.
How do I activate my CFO account?
If you did not log into your account as part of creating your membership (e.g., joined as a household member), you will need to set up your online account to register for events and receive other member benefits, like reading issues of Colorado Birds.
