Knowledge
Building a solid evidence base through mapping the institutional philanthropy space, and gaining specialised knowledge on our membership, which represents the broad diversity of philanthropy in Europe, gives us a unique understanding of the sector. We also monitor, map and analyse the policy, legal and fiscal developments that affect philanthropy, both at EU and national levels. This base of sector knowledge allows us to spot trends and issues affecting philanthropy, and supports our advocacy work.
For Philea members, the Knowledge Hub serves as a resource for informing strategic decision-making and identifying peers and partners.
Covid-19 revival
The Coronavirus pandemic has created a crisis that is bringing the whole world to a halt, with unprecedented and immeasurable implications for our societies.
Data on the sector
It is estimated that there are 147,000 foundations in Europe. These foundations manage 511 billion euros in assets and endowments and give an estimated 60 billion euros annually.
Institutional Philanthropy Spectrum
The Institutional Philanthropy Spectrum serves as a flexible framework for our knowledge base, allowing us to continuously build and adapt a systematic understanding of the diverse and ever-evolving European institutional philanthropy sector.

Since 2002 Philea has mapped the legal and fiscal operating environments for philanthropy across the EU.
