Philea releases first batch of 2024 update of legal and fiscal country profiles
Philea has published the first batch of countries of its 2024 update of the country profiles detailing the legal and fiscal environments for philanthropy across 40 countries in wider Europe.
Last updated in 2020, these profiles, written by national-level experts, provide an in-depth analysis of requirements such as those for registration, reporting, economic activity, governance, and tax treatment; and they outline trends and developments in each country. The remainder of the profiles will be published in early 2025 and made freely available on Philea’s website.
These updated country profiles will enable researchers, the sector, philanthropy partners and policymakers to further analyse trends and developments in their own countries, and they will serve as the basis for the updated version of our benchmark publication, “Comparative Highlights of Foundation Laws”. This publication, developed with an advisory committee, provides key insights that enable legislators, philanthropists and academics to compare what is happening elsewhere with their own domestic situations, and can help national efforts to advocate for a more favourable operating environment.
For more than two decades, Philea (and as its former incarnations of Dafne and EFC) has been monitoring, researching and analysing the operating space for philanthropy and foundations.
