Initiatives

An overview of the intiatives and projects Philea is working on, including responses to COVID-19, resources on data and research, Next Philanthropy, Focus: Philanthropy and the Philanthropy Climate Coalition.

The Philea team are currently working on several projects with the aim of fostering dialogue and peer exchange between Philea members and relevant stakeholders, as well as empowering the European philanthropic sector. Below is an overview of the Philea’s key activities at present.

The most urgent of these projects is the work relating to COVID-19, through which Philea is supporting its members and the wider community by collating information and resources.

Inspired by the UK Funder Commitment on Climate Change, Philea is helping to advance the “Philanthropy Climate Coalition” which brings together philanthropy networks to explore potential action and support in helping foundations address climate change.

Philea is working as a partner in Next Philanthropy, a global collaboration around emerging trends and developments in the field of philanthropy.

Originally launched by the Russian Donors Forum, FOCUS:Philanthropy has now been expanded to European level by Philea. The Initiative tells visual stories of the people behind philanthropy and how they work for a better Europe.

Philea continues to facilitate cross-border cooperation with research institutions and philanthropy support organisations in order to advance research on European philanthropy and present robust resources, data and evidence for stakeholders and the wider public.

On 1st October 2021, we are celebrating the European Day of Foundations and Donors established by Dafne in 2013.
