There are two types of Council on Foreign Relations membership: life, and term membership, which lasts for 5 years and is available to those between the ages of 30 and 36 at the time of their application.  Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalised) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible.  A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others (strongly encouraged to be other CFR members).

Corporate membership (250 in total) is divided into "Basic", "Premium" ($25,000+) and "President's Circle" ($50,000+).  All corporate executive members have opportunities to hear distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and US officials and Congressmen.  President and premium members are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders.
