Europe

The European Foundation Centre (EFC) promotes and underpins the work of foundations and corporate funders active in and with Europe. Established in 1989 by seven of Europe's leading foundations, the EFC today has a membership of over 160 independent funders and serves a further 7,000 organisations linked through networking centres in thirty-five countries across Europe. The three core functions of the Centre are: to represent the interests of member organisations at the level of third parties such as national governments and European Union institutions; to convene and coordinate meetings (also in the field of education) and facilitate networking; and to provide a relevant and current information base to reinforce member organisation programmes and initiatives.
