Form a Keep America Beautiful Affiliate

There are nearly 600 cities, towns, counties and states — and even international communities — that are implementing the Keep America Beautiful System as certified affiliates of KAB. Here are the steps to becoming a KAB affiliate.

Keep America Beautiful offers two methods for a city, county, region or other defined area to become an affiliate. A migration strategy is available to assist existing organizations or affiliates or partner of a certified KAB state affiliate to become a KAB certified affiliate. To qualify, the applicant must be an affiliate in good standing with their state affiliate and organizational structure must have been in place for a minimum of one (1) year prior to applying. If a new organization is being created we use the traditional affiliate development process.
