EFC

Philea came into existence in December 2021, when Dafne and EFC - Donors and Foundations Networks in Europe and the European Foundation Centre - converged to form a strong, united voice for European philanthropy... The European Foundation Centre was established on 9 November 1989, when seven founding members came together with a shared vision of a stronger, more collaborative and better informed network of philanthropic actors from Europe and beyond. On that day, as the Berlin Wall came down and a new Europe emerged, these seven pioneers were laying the foundations for a European philanthropy sector. Over the next 30 years, the EFC grew from a handful of members and a secretariat housed in rented office space to a to a membership of more than 200 organisations from around the world and a permanent home at Philanthropy House on rue Royale in Brussels, where Philea is based... We are committed to enhancing trust, collaboration, transparency, innovation, inclusion and diversity.
