Current Priority Point Rankings
Rankings are determined first by a member’s annual I FUND membership level, and second by total points within the membership level. This means that an Oskee member giving $2,500 per year with 5,000 total points is ranked higher than a Champion member giving $1,000 per year with 50,000 points.
