Become A Member

Members participate in regular membership meetings held throughout the year, generally on the fourth Thursday of every month. In addition, through The Coalition's committee structure, the staff and members work closely on a variety of policy, program, and funding issues. In fact, the major work of The Coalition takes place in our committees where staff and members work together on a variety of program and policy concerns.

The membership year runs from July 1 to June 30 and membership applications are accepted throughout the year. Members joining after the start of the member year may be eligible for prorated dues, upon request.

We also have affiliate memberships for behavioral health organizations who are located outside of the five boroughs or organizations who do not have a behavioral health program.

Dues are based on all mental health revenues as reported in an agency's Consolidated Fiscal Report (CFR) 2, less gifts, interest, dividends, or bequests. Annual membership dues are a minimum of $1,000.00 and affiliate members are granted an additional discount of 30%. If an organization has no behavioral health funding, dues will be $1,000. New members are eligible for a first year prorated discount of up to 50%.
