How it works

For people

Choose your category and create your account (email, Google or Facebook). Your account is your membership.
Complete your profile and accept the statutes. We ask only what the law and your category need.
Pay monthly or yearly by transfer or cheque and upload the proof in Membership fees.
TIPCS verifies the proof and your membership is active. Answer the questionnaires to personalise My TIPCS.

For organisations

The responsible person creates the account with an institutional email (the President for a Tunisian association).
Complete the organisation form and upload the documents of your category.
The secretariat verifies your documents, may ask for a short call or video meeting, and approves the account.
Once approved, the secretariat confirms your membership conditions and your account services are fully open.

Questions and answers

Joining

Which membership is right for me?

If you are an adult who is Tunisian or lives in Tunisia, choose Individual (or Student with proof). If you live anywhere else and want to follow and support our work, choose Friend of TIPCS. Organisations choose Tunisian association, CSO (non-Tunisian), Institutional member, Partner or Benefactor. Each category has its own checklist above.

How do I join?

Only through this website. Choose your category, create your account (email, Google or Facebook), complete the form for that category and pay. TIPCS never enrols members by phone, post or social media.

Is my account the same as my membership?

Yes. Creating the account starts your membership. The account form depends on the category: a person gives personal details; an organisation gives its legal details, its representative and documents.

What is the 4-day access?

Once your profile is complete you can use the whole account and its services for 4 days while you send your proof of payment (and, for organisations, your documents). If a proof or documents arrive in time, they are reviewed within 72 hours; the full trial never exceeds 7 days. Without a verified proof the account is suspended, you are reminded by email and when you log in.

Can I change category later?

Yes, for example from Friend to Individual if you move to Tunisia, or from Student to Individual when you graduate. Write to Contact@tipcs.org; the secretariat updates your category and fee.

Fees and payment

How much does it cost?

Individual and Friend: 100 TND per month or 1,200 per year. Student: 10 TND per month or 120 per year. Tunisian associations: free for non-profit membership. CSO, Institutional member, Partner and Benefactor: Special membership, agreed with the secretariat.

I live abroad: which currency do I pay in?

The binding amount and the bank account are in Tunisian dinars (TND). The page shows an indicative equivalent in your currency, based on a daily rate, and you can switch to any currency. Your bank may add its own rate and fees.

How do I pay?

By bank or post-office transfer or by cheque, then upload the receipt in Membership fees. We take no card payments online and no cash. Pay monthly or yearly.

What if my proof is rejected?

Your account is suspended with the reason shown. Upload a valid proof and it is restored once the secretariat verifies it.

Can I get a refund or stop paying?

You can leave at any time by writing to Contact@tipcs.org; dues already paid for a period you used are not refunded, but a payment made by mistake is. Monthly payers simply stop paying.

Organisations

Who can create the account of a Tunisian association?

Only the first responsible of the association, its President. The President sends an RNE extract issued within the last month, the JORT announcement, the statutes, an ID and a signed letter. The secretariat verifies before approval.

And for a CSO, an institution, a partner or a benefactor?

Any person affiliated with the organisation can create the account, with an institutional email, and upload the registration certificate, the statutes, an ID and an authorisation letter. The account stays pending until the secretariat verifies and approves it.

Why a “CSO” category?

Civil society organisation (CSO) is the broadest, widely used term for NGOs, INGOs, associations, foundations, networks and community groups. We use it for organisations registered outside Tunisia; Tunisian associations have their own free category.

Do organisations get a vote?

Only individual and student members vote. Friends of TIPCS and all organisations (associations, CSOs, institutional members, partners and benefactors) are special members without a vote: they attend the General Assembly as observers and can send proposals to the Board.

Is a benefactor’s gift checked?

Yes. Under our sanctions and due-diligence policy we check who gives, receive funds only by bank or post-office transfer, and record gifts. Foreign funding is declared as the law requires.

Students and friends

What proof does a student need?

Any official proof: a university card, an enrolment certificate or similar. Upload it with your first payment proof.

What are the HBSSC services?

The Hannibal Barca Student Social Centre offers student members free access to a lawyer, a sociologist, a psychologist, a doctor and an accountant. Request them from My TIPCS.

What can a Friend of TIPCS not do?

A Friend has every right of an individual member except the vote and standing for election in the General Assembly. Friends attend as observers, suggest topics and follow everything online.

What is the minimum age?

18, the age of majority in Tunisia, for every person category.

Account, privacy and the questionnaires

Why a personality test?

To personalise your experience: its bands help My TIPCS choose the suggestions, courses and services that fit you. It is optional, private to you and never used to judge or rank members.

What is the ambitions questionnaire?

A short set of questions about what you want to achieve (studies, career, research, civic action, funding). My TIPCS turns your answers into suggestions and a plan of next steps, and updates them as you progress.

What happens to my data?
