The Kachemacs are a not-for-profit organization. We are an open group of individuals who gather for a common purpose. We have no required dues, and all of our material benefits come from memberships and sponsors. If you wish to donate to our cause, please send a PayPal contribution.

Our corporate sponsors include:

Apple, Inc

As a recognized Macintosh Users Group, we receive a number of benefits from Apple. Our group is announced in the User Group Finder. We are given an account on the Apple Sales Web which provides the group’s Ambassador on product training. Apple software for review is provided to the group for a nominal fee. A free dotMac account is provided and maintained for the group as well.
