Foreign Funds Rider – Annual Membership

The Foreign Funds Rider is an attempt to ensure that funding for cryopreservation that is not denominated in US Dollars does not fall below the allotted minimums because of fluctuations in exchange rates. A $2,000 buffer is required to address additional expenses and uncertainties from the use of foreign funding.

Thus, the US Dollar denominated Lifetime Member minimum is $28,000 and the US Dollar denominated Yearly Member minimum is $35,000. The Lifetime Member version of the Foreign Funds Rider specifies that the Cryonic Suspension Agreement remains in force so long as the value of the foreign funding in US dollars is above US$30,000 and that the Cryonics Institute can require funding of US$35,000 if the value of the foreign funding drops below US$30,000 for the Cryonic Suspension Agreement to remain in force. The Yearly Member version of the Foreign Funds Rider specifies that the Cryonic Suspension Agreement remains in force so long as the value in US dollars of the foreign funding is above US$37,000 and that the Cryonics Institute can require funding of US$42,000 if the value of the foreign funding drops below US$35,000 for the Cryonic Suspension Agreement to remain in force.
