Invitation to launch of “Comparative Highlights of Foundation Laws” publication

Did you know that foundations can pursue only public-benefit purposes in Spain? Or that the Netherlands do not require a minimum capital to establish a foundation? Were you aware that political activities are taboo for Finnish foundations? Or that in France, foundations can receive legacies and donations, but corporate foundations can only receive contributions from the founding company?

Philanthropy in Europe is as diverse as European societies are, and this reality is reflected in the varied legal traditions and approaches to regulating these unique civil society actors. “Comparative Highlights of Foundation Laws” untangles this diversity and provides a nuanced understanding of the legal and fiscal regulation of foundations and philanthropy in Europe.

On behalf of the Dafne-EFC Philanthropy Advocacy team, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the launch event of the 2021 edition of “Comparative Highlights”, the joint flagship publication of the European Foundation Centre (EFC) and Donors and Foundations Networks in Europe (Dafne), taking place online on October 1, 2021 from 10.00 – 11.30 CEST.

A more detailed programme will be announced soon.
