Commonwealth War Graves Foundation Membership FAQs
You can choose to pay a one-off payment of £36 or set up either a £3 monthly or £36 annual direct debit.
Setting up a direct debit reduces our administrative costs.
As a Member, you will receive a welcome pack, copies of our members magazine, access to our online talks series ‘’CWGC Chats’’, regular newsletters, priority access to our events, a copy of our yearly impact report and a CWGF Calendar, and soon an updated access to your own Members Area as a thank you for your support to our charity, in addition to being part of a strong community who strive towards keeping the stories alive of those commemorated by the CWGC.
You can join as a Member by completing our online form.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept payments over the phone at this time.
Please do contact a member of our team if you are having trouble signing up through our website.
You have to be over the age of 18 to become a CWGF Member. CWGF Membership is not geography restricted. You can join anywhere in the world.
The upkeep of the CWGC cemeteries and memorials is funded by Commonwealth War Graves' Member Governments and not by CWGF Membership. By joining the CWGF as a Member means that you are supporting our education and outreach projects to allow us to remember the stories of those cared for in these sites.
If you have set up a direct debit, then there is no need to take any action to renew your Membership. One of our team will be in touch with you if we need to.
If you are paying via a one-off payment, then we will send you several reminder emails around the time of your renewal. It is at this point that you can set up a direct debit if you wish. This will help reduce our administrative costs.

Gift Aid can be claimed on your CWGF membership or personal donations.
Gift Aid cannot be claimed on donations on behalf of a group of people or organisation, from raffles or collections.
