EpiData is - from version 2.0 - released by the non-profit organisation The EpiData Association Odense, Denmark (In danish: EpiData Foreningen).

Further financial support is needed (e.g. refining of programming, enhancing speed, translation principles, basic analysis of data, maintenance of website, to pay for absence from paid work to do EpiData or other developmental and promotional efforts for EpiData). If you like EpiData then please consider giving a donation for further development. See the help file for details.
