Interested in Joining?
Most BHEF charter members are nominated by existing BHEF members. If your organization is not currently connected to a member but interested in joining, you may still apply to be considered. For business members, dues are calculated using a sliding scale based on domestic workforce size. For higher education institutions, dues are calculated on a sliding scale based on a combination of total enrollment and annual expenditures.
BHEF’s Strategy & Membership Committee regularly reviews submissions and extends invitations to qualified organizations. BHEF’s EdTech Alliance, Affiliate Membership, and National Impact Council are open to mission-aligned organizations and accepted on a rolling basis.
