Jane, please, I did not use "economic contribution". I know that, especially "economic" does not fit here; "contribution", perhaps, but the idea of "econ�mico" would go as "financial." Anyhow, I used, as always did, "fees". However, Katty's answer did a useful thing for me: she contrasted the ideas behind 2 options.
Thank you for keeping an interest in this issue.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 25, 2005:
economic contributions in English in this context is a nogo. You are completely free to do as you like..naturally..
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 25, 2005:
I will bet you 100 dollars US that no text originally written in English will have Economic Contributions in it in the accounting financials of an NGO..member contribution yes..member donations yes and probably many other things..economic contributions no
Non-ProZ.com May 25, 2005:
Gracias, Jane, por tu precisi�n. La raz�n por la que eleg� la respuesta de Katty es que en ella hace exactamente la diferenciaci�n que yo necesitaba.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 25, 2005:
Just to let you know: economic contribution means something totally different in English. IF you want to go with idea this person gave you, the English is membership fee. Economic contribution means something Completely Different. Non Native English!

Membership dues are paid annually...[it's says charge but paid sound better here]

If this is referring to what members pay every year to be a member of the org, that is annual membership dues

they are not contributions

they may make contributions to the org. but they are charged annual membership dues...\

this is very tricky...

You have to figure out if these are Contributions to make the organization be rich to help people
OR

If this means Membership Dues= money paid to be able to be a member.

There is a Big Difference!!!

Maybe they mean Financial Contributions and MEmbership Dues

Peer comment(s):

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : Or "billed," "due," "payable," ... HOWEVER, I just noted that the asker is referring to NGOs...
2 hrs
whatever Muriel...it's either membership fees and donations..or something else..it ain't economic or financial contributions...there is no billing or payables...

quota contributions

This is another possibility, depending on the context. The United Nations and its agencies use this term to refer to membership dues owed by the countries.
