Transnational Giving Europe today announced it is kicking off the new year with a new name and brand. The network, which facilitates cross-border philanthropy in Europe by providing a safe and tax-efficient way for donors to give, will now be known as Giving Europe.
“We’ve listened to our network of non-profit organisations, donors and partners and we understood it was time for an update. The new look and website better reflect where we are today – and more importantly where our ambitions are taking us,” stated Anne-Laure Paquot, Network Manager at Giving Europe.
In 2024, Giving Europe helped channel 27.5 million Euros from donors to causes across Europe. With over 1300 non-profit organisations vetted and registered on their platform, Giving Europe serves donors and non-profit organisations in 19 countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
The network was established in 1995 by four leading European foundations in Belgium (King Baudouin Foundation), France (Fondation de France), the Netherlands (Juliana Welzijn Fonds) and the United Kingdom (Charities Aid Foundation) to enable, improve and facilitate cross-border philanthropy in Europe.
In 2025, coordination of the network was transferred from King Baudouin Foundation to Philea, which in its own portfolio of activities works to overcome the various legal, administrative and fiscal barriers European foundations face when acting across borders.
“There is a strong need for a single market for philanthropy in Europe. The current legal, administrative and fiscal barriers European foundations face when acting across borders, are estimated to cost them around €90,000,000 to €101,700,000 per year. Until this is resolved, Giving Europe is the best way to give further than your own borders in Europe – and we’re proud to support this work,” added Delphine Moralis, CEO of Philea.
