PVRC does not have an annual Dues requirement. We depend on the generosity of all our club members and some minimal advertising revenue from our Newsletter to finance our annual budget. Members can help PVRC financially in the following ways (note, these are not tax deductible):
- The Operating Fund – for website related costs and Officer approved items such as incentive award plaques and medals to members including postage. DONATE here
- Sponsor WRTC 2026 – PVRC has sponsored several tents for the upcoming WRTC event in 2026: DONATE here
If you’d rather donate with a check, make it payable to PVRC and mail it to Potomac Valley Radio Club 320 Cape St. Claire Rd., #343 Annapolis, MD 21409. Make certain you indicate which of the above funds you want your check directed to.
In addition to funds that PVRC manages, we support other groups by encouraging our members to donate directly to them:
- The PVRC Scholarship Fund, administered by the ARRL. Donations are tax-deductible because the ARRL Foundation is a 501(c)3 entity. Detailed donation instructions are HERE. The Scholarship Fund drive begins in October and ends the following January. Donate here
- Education & Technology Fund Gifts from PVRC which fund the ARRL Teachers Institute. Donations are tax-deductible because the American Radio Relay League Inc. is a 501(c)3 entity. To donate by credit card or check see the detail instructions HERE
