Join BEN

Thank you for your interest in BEN Membership. As a professional association for corporate campaigners, BEN offers membership with many benefits to both organizations and individuals. Our mission is to help transform the role of corporations in society by building the capacity of our Members in their corporate campaign work, by providing education, facilitating collaboration, and increasing recognition of their campaign successes with the funding community and the public.

Individuals are eligible for membership if their work focuses largely on changing the behavior or practice of corporations. We encourage Organizations with which they are affiliated to also become Members. The benefits of both types of Membership are listed below. If you are interested in becoming a Member, please click on the sign up tabs to the left.

We offer our Member Benefits free of charge to campaigners and campaigning organizations.

If you are not involved directly in corporate campaigning, but would like to support BEN or learn more about our work with our partners, please email BEN Director Anne Pernick at apernick@corpethics.org
