PEXforum 2020Philanthropy Europe Networks Forum23-24 January 2020

Impact Hub, Madrid, Spain

Hosted by DAFNE and AEF

Early supporters include Impact Hub & La Caixa Foundation & Oak Foundation

Why do we need “Philanthropy Europe“?

• In Europe philanthropy is impactful, diverse, complementary, innovative, conditioned by differences in history and culture, and still full of untapped potential.

• Philanthropy in Europe is challenged around its legitimacy, critical public perception, shrinking space due to unfavourable policies and high expectations about its effectiveness and impact – issues that need to be addressed by the ecosystem as a whole

• The “PEXforum” is the unique space to create a European philanthropy identity as a common ground to advance the philanthropy ecosystem in a changing world.

What do we want to achieve?

• Identify ecosystem challenges and find ways how to overcome them

• Strengthen the role of national, European and international philanthropy support organisations as enablers, incubators and developers of more informed, connected and effective individual foundations.

• Encourage leadership and collaboration to leverage the potential of philanthropy across the continent.

• Build the network of philanthropy support organisations across Europe.

How does it unfold?

• 100 - 120 participants from regional, national, European and thematic philanthropy networks will gather on 23&24 January2020 in Madrid

• Bring your team & board: each association may bring up to 5 participants to join this unique peer exchange event

• Co-designed ineractive programme incl. „open space“ formats -everyone is a speaker

• Have your „in the nutshell“ talk moment

• Let‘s link up #LiftUpPhilanthropy, #NextPhilanthropy, #PhilanthropyWorks and #4Cs

• This forum will gather the best minds of the field, involve experts from other areas to challenge and inspire us

• The gathering will be professionally facilitated to ensure you walk away with the best possible take-aways.
