The Federal Social Club is a group of private members. Everyone pays the same monthly dues, and at the end of every month, 60% of what we collect goes to three members chosen by a vote of the membership. The remaining 40% covers what it takes to run and maintain the club.
It's a simple idea: show up, kick in, look out for each other. Over time the winners change, the friendships deepen, and the club takes care of its own.
Everyone Pays In
Every member pays $35 in monthly dues. 60% of every dollar collected goes back to the membership through the monthly vote. The other 40% keeps the lights on.
Everyone Votes
Each member casts three votes for three different people. You can't vote for yourself. One member, three ballots, every month.
Top Three Win
The three members with the most votes split the prize pool evenly — 20% of total dues to each. Ties get settled by a coin flip.
Built for the long haul
Sixty percent of every dollar collected goes directly to the membership through the monthly vote. The remaining forty percent is intended to make the club more than a one-month event — to build something members can grow with over time.
The club is brand new, so the categories below describe how we plan to allocate operating funds as the membership grows. Nothing here has happened yet — these are our intentions, not a record of past spending.
Member Events
Monthly mixers, dinners, holiday gatherings, and member-of-the-month celebrations. The club exists to bring people together.
Clubhouse & Venues
One day we'd love a permanent clubhouse or members' lounge. For now, this covers any rental costs for meetings and events as they come up.
Reserve Fund
Over time, we hope to build a reserve fund that gives the club stability and a cushion for leaner months. Any reserve grows slowly and only as membership allows.
Member Projects
Grants and seed funding for member-led initiatives — small businesses, community service, charity drives, and creative projects.
Operating Costs
The unglamorous essentials: website hosting, payment processing fees, accounting, legal counsel, insurance, and software.
Staff & Stipends
Modest stipends for the volunteers and staff who keep the club running — running a club well takes real, ongoing effort.
