Community Foundation Movement Leadership

The Community Foundation Movement Leadership is a peer group of European community foundation leaders, initiated in October 2025 during an intensive three-day Resilience Deep Dive retreat organised by ECFI in Piemonte, Italy. It brings together leaders who learn from one another, exchange practical insights, and act in solidarity to strengthen the community foundation movement across Europe.

Open to all community foundation leaders who share this commitment, the group offers a trust-based space for connection, reflection, and collective action. As civil society faces mounting challenges across the continent, Movement Leadership looks ahead and explores how the community foundation movement can grow stronger together, champion local democratic resilience, deepen community cohesion, and build the organisational strength needed to thrive in uncertain times.
