Ways to Support HEPNet
The Higher Education Protection Network (HEPNet) is an educational association serving colleges, universities, and other youth-serving organizations. Its mission is to seek to advance the interactions of higher education institutions with children and youth. We serve as a coordinated voice promoting good practices for protecting vulnerable populations and providing programming and resources appropriate to their needs. HEPNet represents more than 328 individual members at 200+ institutions of higher education and youth-serving organizations with members ranging from small schools and community colleges to the largest US institutions. Collectively, our members serve over 6.5 million youth annually.
Support from individuals and corporations is vital to our mission to protect children participating in higher education programming. You help us take on this necessary and noble charge, and this work is never-ending. We truly appreciate the generosity of others in helping to oversee our mission and work.
The Higher Education Protection Network is a charitable not-for-profit organization under sec. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We greatly appreciate your donations, which are tax-deductible.

Sponsorship
As the nation’s only organization linking together professionals across various departments in higher education, as well as other supporters interested in protecting youth and other vulnerable populations, we have a unique target audience. Members often seek vendors that offer training solutions, registration systems, background checks, insurance coverages, and outsourcing methods for other youth protection responsibilities. We offer conference sponsorship opportunities as well as year-round.
Affiliate Memberships
While most HEPNet members are within higher education, we have many members from outside of higher education that support our mission and can benefit from membership. Affiliate members also receive discounted member pricing on our annual conference.
