Payment & Refund Policy

Greater Naples Leadership is a nonprofit membership organization that charges tuition for the Masters Program, annual dues for alumni membership, and fees for select educational programs and social events. All charges are paid in U.S. currency and are not tax deductible.

If a person pays tuition to the Masters Program and subsequently needs to withdraw from it, our reimbursement policy is to return half of the tuition if notice is provided prior to July 1 of the Masters Program year. Cancellation after that date will result in the forfeiture of the full tuition amount. Annual dues are not refundable. A deferred class member will not be eligible for a refund of their paid tuition fee, if the deferred class member chooses to withdraw. Fees for educational programs and social events are refundable if cancellations are made prior to the stated deadline. 

Greater Naples Leadership ensures Payment Card Industry compliance and secure communications by using Stripe integrated payment system to collect online payment information, which is transmitted directly to Stripe via Transport Layer Security (TLS) and HTTPS.
