Nonprofit Members

Download Nonprofit Member Application

Nonprofit membership is open to any 501(c)(3) organization with a formal agreement with one or more public lands agencies. Applications are reviewed and approved by APPL's Board of Directors.


Associate Members

Associate membership recognizes other categories of like-mission and like-minded organizations and individuals who may benefit from, support, and contribute to the goals of APPL. These associates receive many of the communication and educational benefits of APPL, but do not qualify as voting members of the organization.

Vendors Support Program

More>>

The APPL Vendor Support Program (VSP) was created in 1997 in response to vendor requests to be better informed about APPL and its member associations. Involvement does not signify membership within APPL, which will retain its focus on nonprofit partners to public lands.

APPL's members represent  the wide array of nonprofit public land partners who help educate and engage visitors with the hope that they will become active stewards, helping care for and protect America's treasured spaces. Learn more about who are members are and what they do to achieve these goals here.
