If you’ve been discussing becoming a member of the Sunlight Research Desk, you probably have an email from us with the link to the specific membership plan that will meet your needs. Your first step is to click on that link.

Find out more about joining Sunlight Research Desk at https://www.sunlightresearch.net/membership.

If you are not already logged in you will see a page like this. Click the blue “Sign in” button if you already have a MuckRock Account.

This will redirect you to the login page.

After logging in, you should be automatically redirected back to the plan signup page. If you were already logged in, this is where you would land first.

If you are not automatically redirected back to the Sunlight plan sign up page after logging in, open the Sunlight plan link emailed to you again to get back there.

Select the organization you would like to purchase this subscription for.

Either enter your card information if you intend to pay immediately or select “Pay by invoice” to pay by an emailed invoice. If you’re organization is a non-profit, make sure to click “My organization is non-profit” button to get the reduced rate and finally click “Subscribe”.

After clicking subscribe, if your payment or pay by invoice option was accepted, you should be redirected back to your organization’s management page and you should see the new Sunlight membership under the billing section for the organization. If available, it will also list the benefits of your membership for latter reference.
