Membership

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 a completely separate nonprofit from our national organization, the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington DC, and we 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 your company or organization may sponsor us.

Trust Membership (a donation of $1,000 or more) includes Urban Green membership, invitations to exclusive events throughout the year and the opportunity to network with NYC’s most committed green building advocates.

Contributions are fully tax-deductible. For questions about your membership, please contact us.
