EPN is mainly funded by church-related agencies such as Misereor (Germany), ICCO (Netherlands), Bread for the World (Germany) and other similar supporters. Over the years, it has also been funded by EED, Service Overseas, EZE, Christian Aid, Cordaid (formerly Bilance) and Caritas Italiana. A small income is generated from partial fees paid to courses organized by EPN and through fundraising, e.g. from WHO for specific training activities. Co-funding is also provided indirectly (in-kind) through members' input of time, travel costs, out of pocket expenses, and other such overheads. Current partners include: - Bread for the world (Brot für die Welt) - Stuttgart, Germany
