Initiatives

The Philea team are currently working on several initiatives with the aim of fostering dialogue and peer exchange between Philea members and relevant stakeholders, as well as empowering the European philanthropic sector.

Data on philanthropy – by us, for us

Philea, in collaboration with ERNOP, is launching a new webinar series to showcase some of the fascinating research from our members, celebrate their accomplishments, and offer the philanthropic community an inside look at these studies.

European Day of Foundations and Donors

The annual European Day of Foundations and Donors showcases the role of the European philanthropy sector, and aims to raise public awareness about the value of philanthropy and encourage more giving and civic action.

European Philanthropy Coalition for Climate

We believe that all foundations and philanthropic organisations, regardless of their mission, can and should commit to meaningful climate action and want to offer a framework for this journey.

For a Climate of Change

In the face of the climate crisis, foundations can increase their impact by integrating the risks of climate change as well as the benefits of addressing climate change into their work, regardless of their mission. Together, we can create a Climate of Change.

Futures Philanthropy

Futures Philanthropy is an invitation to philanthropy to think about tomorrow, today, and embark on a pathway towards regenerative societies. Our vision is a diverse, future-fit European philanthropy that rises to the challenges of our times and continues asking relevant questions.  

PEX

PEX is where the European philanthropy infrastructure meets. PEXcommunity was jointly co-created at the PEXforum 2020 in Madrid, the first Europe-wide event bringing together leaders and experts from national, regional and European philanthropy support organisations.

Philanthropy for Ukraine

We stand in solidarity with our members and all the people of Ukraine amidst the Russian government’s invasion into their lands. We stand with them in their efforts to support, and with those who defend, the full respect of international humanitarian law and protection of civilians and civil society, in Ukraine, in Russia, in Belarus and around the world.

WhenWeUnite

Philanthropy is everywhere around us. It brings real value – to the individuals, communities, societies – in more ways that we even know. From one-off contributions, to major donors, to a few hours of someone’s time, together we can collaborate to improve circumstances facing our societies.
