Membership and what it means
Three categories of membership permit virtually everyone to join the Federation:
Full Membership is open to private nonprofit child and family service agencies, statewide or regional agencies responsible for coordination of services of private nonprofit child and family service agencies and agencies operated as subdivisions or branches of a national, regional, or statewide administered child and family service agency in Michigan.
Affiliate membership is open to statewide, regional and local private nonprofit associations and organizations that are organized to promote public and private nonprofit policies and services that benefit children and families.
Individual membership is open to individuals who support public and private nonprofit policies and services that benefit children and families.
All members must subscribe to the purposes of the Federation as defined in Article II of the Articles of incorporation and requirements set forth in the Bylaws, Membership standards and Dues policies—all of which are found in the 2008 Membership Guide. The Guide also describes the Benefits of membership for each category and the many Member Interest Networks (MINs) open to participation by employees of Full and Affiliate members.
