Share Europe
A united Europe needs united philanthropy.
Every day, people across Europe are working to protect democracy, care for communities, and build connections across borders. However, only a tiny fraction of Europe’s philanthropic funding supports this kind of work on a European scale.
Share Europe is changing that.
The future of Europe demands more than traditional approaches; it requires a transformative vision that leverages collective effort and shared purpose. Share Europe is a pledge and a platform. It is a movement toward impactful, cooperative philanthropy that addresses fundamental European challenges head-on.
Why Share Europe
There are over 180,000 foundations in Europe, but less than 5% focus on Europe itself. This means vital work on migration, climate, rights, culture, and community often happens without shared resources or coordination.
Share Europe is created to change that. It brings together people and institutions that want to act across borders, align efforts, and grow impact together. It’s not a new fund—it’s shared infrastructure.
What it Entails
Share Europe Pledge
Foundations to spend a minimum of 1% of their funding for a European purpose.
Share Europe Platform
Where foundations and the EU can share, align and pool resources to:
- Have European Impact by sharing and matching resources;
- Create synergies by using existing infrastructure and knowledge;
- Scale by facilitating EU matching funds;
- Improve Quality by creating quality standards;
- Share culture by connecting the local with the European.
Share Europe is launching soon.
If you are excited about this, join us in making this visionary initiative a cornerstone for a better Europe, where shared goals and resources lead to tangible improvements in the lives of its citizens.
