European Fundraising Forum är vår europeiska branschorganisations årliga mötesplats för att stärka civilsamhället och bredda kunskapen om givande och insamling runtom i Europa. Ta chansen att få nya insikter om fundraising och filantropi i en europeisk kontext, utbyt erfarenheter och bredda dina perspektiv tillsammans med kollegor från hela Europa.
Join fundraisers and fundraising leaders in Leuven, Belgium on 19 November for EFA’s annual European gathering. Explore how regulation, technology and shifting civic space are reshaping fundraising and philanthropy in Europe, with peer exchange on strategy, purpose, impact and long-term sustainability — going beyond operational tactics.
Attendees will also gain early insight into emerging giving models and sector-wide trends affecting future fundraising strategies — and have the opportunity to connect with European peers shaping standards, policy, and professional practice in fundraising.
