About Membership

Full Individual Membership is $500. Full Household Membership is $500 for the first person plus $250 for each additional member from the same household. Associate Membership is $500 for either an individual or household.

Full members are eligible to receive any of the services ANV offers. Associate members can take part in all social activities and outings, educational programs, daily check-in calls, 55+ pass, and Washington Consumer CHECKBOOK – any service except those involving a volunteer coming to the member’s home or providing transportation.
-
Volunteer hours cannot be used to reduce the membership fee.
-
An important ANV goal is to make village services and programs available to every eligible Arlington resident, regardless of ability to pay. We offer discounted membership fees to both Individuals and Households, based on annual income. For Individuals with annual income up to $47,250, the discounted annual fee ranges from $25 to $100. For Households with annual combined income up to $50,400, the annual fee ranges from $37 to $150.
-
Associate memberships are entitled to receive only a portion of ANV services, so $375 of the $500 fee may be deductible. Full membership fee is not deductible.
-
People who are only partial-year residents of the county are welcome to join ANV; however, they will have to pay the full-year membership fee.

No. There is no cost to becoming a volunteer with ANV.

About ANV Organization
-
Residents of Arlington are fortunate that there is a wide variety of services and programs available, whether provided by the county government or the many non-profit organizations. ANV will connect its members to many of these services – part of the “one stop shop” approach where a member can call ANV if they are looking for a service or activity but don’t know where to turn. ANV works closely with several county agencies to avoid duplication where possible and to develop complementary services. For example, we coordinate with the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Office of Senior Adult Programs to promote member awareness and utilization of their 55+ activities and programs. ANV services complement this program by paying the basic 55+ membership fee for all ANV members.

ANV is an independent non-profit corporation with a volunteer board of directors.
