Around 100 local, national, regional and European non-governmental (NGOs) and not-for-profit organisations are members of the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA). EPHA membership organisations work individually and collectively to promote and protect the health interests of people living in Europe.
EPHA has two categories of membership:
FULL members are Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) active in the public health sector. Full members have two votes at the Annual General Assembly.
ASSOCIATE members are other not-for-profit organisations, professional bodies, academic instituions and local or regional authorities. Associate members have one vote at the Annual General Assembly.
EPHA membership fees are based on the income of the member organisation:
| Annual income up to 300,000 Euros | 550 Euros |
| Annual income of 300,000 - 1,000,000 Euros | 750 Euros |
| Annual income of > 1,000,000 Euros | 1,100 Euros |
Please note that in 2006, the fee level for the largest organisations will increase to 1,100 Euros.
For NGOs in new Member States of the EU (eg Poland, Hungary, Slovenia etc), membership fees are being phased in over a 3 year period.
The EPHA Executive Committee can, on a case-by-case basis, waive the membership fees for NGOs in NIS and South East Europe.
