  • Institutional Membership Application

  • Our Institutional Membership is intended for public gardens, arboretums, zoos, and parks that are open for public visitation. By joining the American Public Gardens Association (APGA), your organization will be one of nearly 600 institutions dedicated to making the world a place where public gardens are indispensable. APGA shows our commitment to the industry by championing and advancing public gardens as leaders, advocates, and innovators in the conservation and appreciation.

    Institutional Membership provides benefits to your entire team, including staff, board members, and volunteers. For a detailed list of benefits, please visit publicgardens.org/membership. 

  • Institution Information

  • Dues Structure

    Membership dues for Institutional members are calculated based on annual operating budget (AOB) from the most recently completed fiscal year. For the purpose of determining dues, APGA defines annual operating budget as all earned income, including gross revenue from all operations, private and public (government) support, restricted and unrestricted grants, and all interest and endowment income. Income from one-time capital projects may be excluded.

    Organizations with an AOB of $175,000 or less pay the minimum dues payment of $175. All other organizations pay 0.11% of their AOB (i.e., AOB x 0.0011 = Annual Dues), up to a maximum of $13,000.
