III · Membership
Three ways to belong.
Members are unlimited. Residents and Citizens share 1,000 seats worldwide, like renting and owning a home on the same Maison estate; as Citizenships are taken, fewer seats remain for Residents. Prices in euros, requested only after you are accepted.

How it works
From a request to your first table.
01
You request
Who you are, what you are building, how you heard of us. Or a member invites you.
02
A person reads it
Every request is read by the Maison team, and by the host in your city once there is one.
03
You are accepted
You receive a personal link, valid for 30 days, to take your seat.
04
You choose your level
Member is free. Resident and Citizen are paid in euros, by card, once the seat is confirmed.
05
Day one
The calendar opens for every member. Residents and Citizens also receive their 500 credits and the directory the same day.
A year in credits
500 credits, every year.
1 credit is €1 on the Maison price list. Residents get half their fee back this way; Citizens get all of their house dues. Credits arrive at the start of each membership year and are spent across the Maison. For example:
- 2 × Seat at a Maison Dinner240
- Night at a partner stay250
- Used490 / 500
Valid for the membership year, no rollover, no cash value. How credits work
Renting or owning
What a seat costs, over time.
Paid in total, before credits. Both receive the same 500 credits a year. By the ninth year the two have cost the same; from then on a Citizen pays half, keeps the seat for life and holds two votes.
| After | Resident | Citizen |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | €1,000 | €5,000 |
| 3 years | €3,000 | €6,000 |
| 5 years | €5,000 | €7,000 |
| 9 years | €9,000 | €9,000 |
| 10 years | €10,000 | €9,500 |
| 15 years | €15,000 | €12,000 |
Prices in euros. The Citizen’s first year is included in the €5,000; house dues of €500 a year are locked for life.
Who votes
Residents vote. Citizens count twice.
Member
Hears every session and the results; votes once a Resident or Citizen.
Resident
One vote on what binds Maison: where it opens next, the house rules, perks, the gathering city, the causes.
Citizen
Two votes on the same decisions, for life. And the Assembly’s voice to Safa Global Capital, Ventures and the Foundation, and the Members’ Council, are Citizens’ alone.
A vote comes with an active membership and pauses while dues are unpaid. No vote is ever weighted by any investment a member holds, and the Assembly never votes on investments, issuances, prices or allocations.
The Maison platform
Your membership, in one private place.
Your credits
Balance and history, and requests the team confirms before a credit is taken.
The private directory
Residents and Citizens who choose to be seen, and what they are open to. Never an email or a phone.
Who’s in town
Add a trip and see the members who live there or will be there too.
Introductions
Ask to meet someone; the Maison team asks them and writes the introduction by hand.

Questions
What is the difference between Resident and Citizen?
Like renting and owning. A Resident pays €1,000 each year, receives 500 credits and enjoys the house, with Excellence University included while a Resident. A Citizen holds a lifetime seat, pays only €500 in house dues each year and receives them back in full as 500 credits, keeps Excellence University for life, brings guests and votes in the Maison Assembly.
What do I get at Excellence University?
Members get 15% off everything, bespoke programs included. Residents have Excellence University included (every course and program except bespoke ones) while they are Residents; Citizens have it included for life. Residents and Citizens get 50% off bespoke programs. Learning is education, never investment advice.
How do the 1,000 seats work?
Residents and Citizens together never pass 1,000. As Citizenships are taken, fewer seats remain for Residents. A Resident is never displaced during their year, and renewing Residents keep their seat; when the house is full, new applicants join a waitlist. Members are unlimited.
Can membership be given by invitation?
Yes. Maison invites faculty, scholars, partners, community leaders and others at its own discretion. An invitation is never promised, never tied to an investment and never part of any offer.
How do I join?
Request membership, or ask a member to put you forward. A person reads every request and replies by email. Payment for Resident or Citizen is requested only after you are accepted.
I was a member of the Safa Global Society. What changes?
The Society is now Maison Safa. Your membership continues at the same price, and nothing changes in your billing today. We will write to you about your place in Maison and your credits.
