These memberships enable you to bundle together a set of memberships together and come in the level of Supporter ($250, up to 5 members), Contributor ($500, up to 10 members), Friend ($1500, up to 30 members), Patron ($2500, up to 50 members), and Sustaining Partner ($5000, up to 100 members). However, it is common for institutions to take out a higher level of membership than the number of members they represent.
