Year in Review 2022
Philea came into being in 2022, the result of a recipe containing many wonderful ingredients and sweetened by dashes of creativity, a pinch of patience, and ample amounts of humility and hard work.
Hence, 2022 was a transition year, reflecting a 12-month process of close consultation with our members, partners, staff and other stakeholders on not just what kind of organisation Philea could be, but what it should be.
Towards the end of the year, we worked with our governing bodies to further consolidate and channel our activities into a clear framework for the years ahead. It marked the beginning of a 10-year vision, setting forth our longterm ambitions for philanthropy and the part we have to play to support its contribution to a pluralistic, just and resilient society that centres people and planet.
From this vision, we designed a 5-year strategic framework to focus on the value and impact members want us to deliver. Download the 2022 Year in Review and learn more about this and why we consider it vital that Philea…
- Collaborates – We see trust as the foundation of everything we do. We aim at creating and sustaining trust within our own organisation and the European philanthropy sector by being accountable to our members, our partners and European societies at large.
- Stimulates learning – We are more than the sum of our parts. We believe in the power of collaboration and collective impact. We engage with a wide range of actors, allowing us to listen, learn and act together.
- Convenes – We are open about what we do and how we work. We are eager to learn from both successes and failures, and welcome constructive criticism as an opportunity to continually improve and lead by example.
- Monitors and advocates– We see innovation as a key driver of positive social change. That is why we invest resources in foresight and horizon scanning to allow us to drive innovation.
- Anticipates – We believe that everyone should have a voice and equal opportunities. Inclusion and diversity are preconditions for our own organisation, and we will promote these values within the wider European philanthropy sector.
- Shares knowledge – We believe that everyone should have a voice and equal opportunities. Inclusion and diversity are preconditions for our own organisation, and we will promote these values within the wider European philanthropy sector.
- Tells the story – We believe that everyone should have a voice and equal opportunities. Inclusion and diversity are preconditions for our own organisation, and we will promote these values within the wider European philanthropy sector.
