What grantees are saying: how well are European funders listening?

New data to be released in a forthcoming Center for Effective Philanthropy report reveals wide variation in grantee perceptions of European funders. This event will explore the opportunity for funders across Europe to give grantees more of what they say they need and rise to the moment.

New data to be released in a forthcoming Center for Effective Philanthropy report reveals wide variation in grantee perceptions of European funders, with overall findings substantially similar to grantees’ perceptions of U.S.-based funders. 

To improve, grantees ask for three things from their European funders:

  • Build more intentional relationships with grantees
  • Streamline application and reporting processes
  • Focus more on flexible funding and assistance beyond the grant  

As civil society faces particular challenges to hold the line across the globe, are European funders prepared to implement these practices? This event will explore the opportunity for funders across Europe to give grantees more of what they say they need and rise to the moment.
