Dues

Dues are a necessary requirement to provide membership benefits and to maintain the organization. 

Although we are a tax-exempt organization designated by the IRS as a 501(c)6 entity, your dues and/or contributions to CVMS are no longer considered tax-deductible as a charitable expense by the IRS. However, they may still be deductible as a business expense. Check with your accountant for details on your personal tax information. 

An alternative is to donate $240 to the 501(c)3 CVM Foundation. You will automatically become a member of CVMS and the Foundation at the same time and the amount is fully deductible as a charity.

You will receive a receipt after your payment is made. 

You may cancel your membership at any time and receive a pro-rated refund.

Annual dues are required on or before January 1 of each calendar year. If annual dues are not paid by April 1 of any given year, the membership will have to be terminated.

For Physicians, Surgeons, PhDs: $240/year with voting privileges ($20/month paid annually).

For EVMS Med Students, Residents, Fellows: FREE (Just fill out and submit the form above and you're done!)

Donations are accepted from anyone in any amount..
