MEDC invoices members annually at the beginning of its fiscal year on July 1. New members joining after June 1 may compute their dues to the nearest fiscal year quarter at the time of application.

If your organization has a statewide focus, you will fall in the largest population category.

NOTE: Dues paid to MEDC are not deductible as charitable contributions but may be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense. A portion of dues, however, is not deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense to the extent that the MEDC engages in industry lobbying. The non deductible portion of dues for 2021-2022 is estimated to be 65%.
