The membership fee is an investment in achieving the collective vision of Sphere. Membership fees provide essential funding for the running of the organisation, while allowing us to leverage substantial grants from major donors so we can achieve our shared vision.
Sphere would not be financially viable without annual membership fees. We operate on a tight budget, overseen on behalf of members by our Executive Committee.
Fees for Full and Associate Members are calculated on the basis of the member organisation’s annual revenue (in CHF).
