About this grant
PHILEA, also known as the European Foundation Centre, is an independent membership association of foundations and corporate funders dedicated to promoting organized philanthropy in Europe and internationally. The grantee focuses on providing intellectual leadership on emerging policy agendas and societal trends that will impact institutional philanthropy, fostering connections within philanthropy and with external actors, providing a voice for European institutional philanthropy and developing a new membership strategy. In 2022, the European Foundation Centre and the Donors and Foundations Networks of Europe will combine their operations and programming, with the Donors and Foundations Networks of Europe being merged into the grantee. Additional grant funds will support this process and the increased operational and programmatic costs. Established in 1989 by seven of Europe’s leading foundations, the European Foundation Centre serves a core membership of over 190 members.
