MEMBERSHIP FAQ

Why Become a Member?

If you are either a charitable organization or room operator benefiting from charitable gaming, it is in your interest to support our work keeping gaming viable and available in Michigan. Powerful, organized and well-funded organizations and groups are opposed to charitable gaming. Opposition comes from a variety of sources. Notable examples are commercial organizations competing for gaming income. Also, some groups are opposed to gambling for moral, philosophical or religious reasons. MiCGA represents the interests of charities and room operators. We are your voice advocating for your ability to continue benefiting from charitable gaming. Without an active, funded organization performing this advocacy, charitable gaming could be severely curtailed - and along with it, your charitable work or business.

MiCGA is comprised of member charities and room operators from around the State of Michigan.

The Board of Directors consists solely of representatives from charities. Members of the board have diverse legislative and business backgrounds, ensuring effectiveness in developing strategy and in negotiations with legislators and regulators.
