INGO-Service was set up in1994 to receive voluntary financial contributions from the  INGOs - "The purpose of the association is to promote the functioning and the activities of the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe by collecting and making available the necessary means".

 

What is its purpose?

The purpose of INGO-Service is to provide financial means to the Conference of INGOs, in addition to the financial contribution of the Council of Europe, to carry out its activities and its missions, to enhance the work of all of the INGOs holding participatory status. By supporting INGO-Service, your INGO is showing solidarity with all the INGOs working together in Greater Europe.

The Statutes of INGO Service were adopted by the constituent General Assembly held in Strasbourg on 9 November 1994, and mostly recently amended by Extraordinary General Assembly on 5 October 2021 to take into account the changes brought about by the adoption of new Rules of Procedure of the Conference of INGOs.

The Internal rules of procedures of 27 January 2016, revised on 5 April 2022.

 

How can my INGO support INGO-Service?

All INGOs with participatory status can support INGO-Service by paying an annual subscription.  The basic subscription is 150€ but an INGO can show its support with a subscription of 200€ or more; the mininum subscription is 100€. If your INGO would like to contribute please complete the subscription form and return it to the Secretary of INGO-Service.

 

How are subscriptions spent?
