Membership Application Process
Send us an informal request with your full contact details via our contact form: Request our Membership Form or download the Membership Form and send it to us as per the instructions within the form.
The application process is managed on behalf of the European Crowdfunding Network AISBL. It involves filling out a formal Application Form and, depending on each case, an interview with the Executive Chair or the Non-Executive Chair of the European Crowdfunding Network AISBL. After that, the application is brought to the Executive Board European Crowdfunding Network AISBL. Once approved, you will receive an invoice to process the payment of the annual membership fee, which finalises the application. Each membership runs for a maximum of one calendar year, ending on 31 December. Members from the previous year will be directly contacted regarding their membership renewal and do not need to pay the administration fee again. You can cancel your commitment at any time, but paid contributions will not be reimbursed. Associate Membership of the European Crowdfunding Network AISBL starts after full payment of the membership invoice.
Membership Disclaimer
EUROCROWD associate membership serves to align with our organizational objectives and initiatives. Associate Membership spans one calendar year and necessitates renewal annually. Associate Members typically join to support our vision and actively contribute to fostering a professional crowdfunding landscape through regulatory adherence and the promotion of best practices. Associate-level membership does not confer authority for executive decision-making within the European Crowdfunding Network AISBL or EUROCROWD BV or authorization to represent the organization publicly. Consistent with Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which govern competition law, EUROCROWD opposes and does not tolerate or facilitate any agreements among member entities that restrict or indirectly limit competition. Our commitment precludes any such misconduct. Membership neither indicates market dominance nor grants privilege to voice dominance. Individual members’ interests are not represented by EUROCROWD, which advocates for fair competition and opposes practices detrimental to consumers or market competition within the EU. EUROCROWD is committed to reporting any breaches of any EU or national Law to relevant authorities and does not endorse members or their activities. We however lack the legal mandate or capacity to validate members’ professional conduct and encourage compliance with national laws and industry standards. Oversight is entrusted to National Conduct Authorities. Membership is offered through the European Crowdfunding Network AISBL, an international association governed by Belgian law, led by an executive board without operational or controlling interests in the crowdfunding sector.
