Supporting Nurse Practitioners (NPs) so You Can Support Your Patients
“I find everything valuable about my AANP membership. The continuing education opportunities, the ability to network, the advocating for practice; I think that what AANP offers our profession is unlimited.”
—Angela T., DNP, FNP-C, BC-ADM, CDE, FAANP Indiana Member since 2009

Tax Information
AANP membership dues are not deductible as a charitable contribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes but may be deductible as a business expense. AANP estimates that 5 percent of your dues are not deductible because of AANP lobbying activities on behalf of its members. AANP membership dues are non-refundable.
