Last year, 94% of the VIVO project revenue came from its members and corporate sponsors. 6% came from other sources. The VIVO conference is an independent financial entity – it does not receive funds from the VIVO members and it does not provide funds to the VIVO project.

VIVO needs your institution to become a member. If you are a member, we are most grateful for your continued support. If you are not a member, you will be hearing more about membership in the coming months, from additional material to be posted here, from direct mailings, and from personal contacts by members of the VIVO community. Please consider this information and consider how your institution may be able to financially support VIVO by becoming a Duraspace member. We need your support.
