All Associate applications require one existing FIRST Full Member team sponsor.
Associate membership is intended for organizations with a legitimate interest in the FIRST community but who do not have an operational incident response team. Non-profit and not for profit organizations must provide a certificate of non-profit status from a tax authority.
The first step in applying to FIRST is to complete the interest form. Teams with a sponsor will be sent an email and link to proceed with the application process once verified.
_Please note: it is the applicant's responsibility to secure sponsors for their application. Upon request FIRST will attempt to provide support with this process. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the Secretariat at Support Portal._
The full details of the membership application process are described at FIRST Associate Membership Process.
