The association has several membership categories to choose from, with different membership fees:
Regular membership 45 € / year
Student membership 25 € / year
Support membership 45 € / year
Paying the student membership fee requires current full time studies.

In addition the Documentary Guild can elect honorary members who are exempt from fees.
Why join the Finnish Documentary Guild?
The Finnish Documentary Guild brings together professionals working with or studying documentary film in Finland. Membership is a good way to hear about what is happening in the industry in Finland and to get to know fellow colleagues. As a member you are also making a difference in helping the documentary filmmakers’ voice be heard. The greater number the Finnish Documentary Guild has members, the more attention and importance it will gain in lobbying better resources for documentary filmmaking in Finland.
At the moment the Documentary Guild serves its members mainly in Finnish language, but non-Finnish speakers are also welcome to join the activities.
The Documentary Guild has an email list informing members about its activities and other news related to the documentary field. The Guild carries out Doggariklubi screenings of new domestic documentary films as well as seminars and discussions on topical issues. The Guild also organizes festival and market trips abroad and brings foreign filmmakers to visit Finland. The association holds an annual meeting as well as a get-together in the spring and a traditional pre-Christmas party with a professional event at the end of the year.
In addition members receive a membership benefit each year at the DocPoint Helsinki Documentary Film Festival.
