The Bike Kitchen/Bike Co-op has an annual membership fee of $15 for
students, $20 for community, or free after six hours' volunteering.
Benefits include free shop time on Fridays, two hours' free shop time
(which would cost $7.50/hr, so basically the cost of membership), plus
discounts on workshops and parts. We're also in a weird situation of
being technically a student club, ie an organ of the students'
representative body at the university, which is itself a registered
non-profit. Mostly we have the membership fee because it gets people
to sign the indemnity form, which the overarching student body
requires we do. It's far from our main source of income.

Another co-operative in BC, Hub City Cycles, has a $5 membership fee
for life, then options of hourly, monthly or yearly fees for  tool
use. You can see their fee structure here:

Note: all amounts are in CAD$
