WHAT IS A MEMBERSHIP FEE FOR?

Like any association, AD€ needs financial resources to operate. At present, almost all the association's income comes from membership fees. To give you a better idea of "where your money goes", here is an approximate breakdown of expenditure for one year:
  • Website (development) 30%
  • Search engine optimisation and internet communication 19%
  • Website (hosting, backup, online payment) 15%
  • Representation, coin shows (France, international) 15%
  • Supplies, postage 10%
  • Organisation of 5% meetings
  • Federation contributions 3%
  • Other management expenses 3%
It is understood that Group Orders are not included in these budget allocations, as the various items are offered to members without any margin on the part of the association.
Your membership fee will therefore support the development of the association, and the amount is the same regardless of your participation in the services offered by AD€. Joining AD€ also means supporting public information campaigns on the single currency.
