In GEN Europe, we consider these prices as clear guidelines for a minimum membership fee, but if members are not able to afford these fees, we will still welcome them as members, as we want to be an inclusive network and finances should not be a barrier - but we still ask and highly encourage our members to give generously based on what we suggest and re-evaluate their contribution on an annual basis, based on their financial situation.

The form contains a minimum yearly contribution of 20€ to avoid automatic attempts at testing credit card numbers. We invite you to calculate your contribution based on the suggested minimum contribution table and enter it in the corresponding field below.
