Join us in contributing to a more sustainable city for ourselves and future generations.

Urban Green Council, USGBC New York, is an essential resource for the region’s professionals working in all aspects of sustainable building; we provide valuable education and networking opportunities for thousands of our members and non-members each year.

We are also a completely separate nonprofit from our national organization, the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington DC, and are responsible for our own fundraising. Therefore we look toward individuals, organizations, foundations and government to support our critical work. We help to ensure that New York will be a great place to live for generations to come by advocating for a thoughtful, sustainable approach to urban planning, development, and energy policy.

You may join Urban Green Council as an individual member, or sponsor us as a company or organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible*. For questions about your membership, please contact us.
