Strengthening and promoting the community foundation movement in Europe.
Community foundations are catalysts of local action for lasting change.
Community foundations are locally-rooted philanthropic institutions that mobilise people, knowledge and financial capital and deploy these resources to strengthen their communities. With deep local insight and trusted relationships, they’re uniquely positioned to tackle complex challenges and drive systemic change from the ground up.
At ECFI, we champion, connect and support this growing movement across Europe.
