How Much Does Charlotte Moms of Multiples Membership Cost?

Updated

Charlotte Moms of Multiples (CMOMS) charges $30 per year for new and renewing members, $20 per year for Crown Club members (5+ consecutive years), and $0 for Lifetime Club members (10+ consecutive years). One membership covers a household. If annual dues are a barrier, CMOMS also runs a Member Assistance Program that can waive dues based on financial hardship criteria.

Membership Tiers and Annual Dues

Membership tier Who it applies to Annual dues
New & Renewing Member Brand new to CMOMS, or renewing with fewer than 5 consecutive years $30
Crown Club Member Member for 5+ consecutive years $20
Lifetime Club Member Member for 10+ consecutive years $0
Member Assistance Program Members who meet financial hardship criteria Dues waived

Two details matter when you're budgeting:

  • One membership per household. Membership is open to all homes where multiples spend most of their time, or to expectant parents of multiple birth children — and only one membership is allowed per household. If you and a partner both want to be involved, you don't pay twice.
  • The discount is based on consecutive years, not total years. The Crown Club and Lifetime Club rates depend on how many consecutive years you've been a member, so a lapse in renewal can reset your standing.

Who the Membership Is For

CMOMS describes itself as the #1 support group for multiple birth families in the Greater Charlotte area, serving hundreds of members across the Queen City and surrounding suburbs. The group explicitly welcomes all primary caregivers of multiples — moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and foster parents — not only moms.

Membership stages span the full parenting arc: soon-to-be moms of multiples, new moms, moms of toddler-to-teenager multiples, and empty nester moms of multiples. Founded in 1960, CMOMS also runs outreach, scholarship, and member assistance programs, and supports local charities such as KinderMourn and area NICUs.

How to Apply for Financial Assistance

If the $30 or $20 annual dues would be a hardship, the Member Assistance Program waives annual dues based on financial hardship criteria. The site directs inquiries to [email protected] for more information. There is no published application form or income threshold on the page, so the practical step is to email that address and ask what documentation or criteria apply to your situation.

What to Check Before You Pay

  • Confirm your tier before renewing. If you believe you've hit 5 or 10 consecutive years, verify your status with the membership contact rather than assuming the lower rate applies automatically.
  • Ask about the assistance program first if cost is the deciding factor. Waived dues are available, so the listed $30 is not necessarily your out-of-pocket cost.
  • Remember the household rule. One membership per household means the cost doesn't multiply for two caregivers in the same home.
