“Organising Philanthropy for Systemic Change” es el título del retiro EDGE Europa de este año. Los miembros europeos de EDGE y sus invitados están invitados a unirse a nosotros en la hermosa granja orgánica La Bergerie, one hour from Paris, from Tuesday, 14 to Thursday, 16 November 2017.

Two years after the establishment of EDGE Funders Alliance in Europe, we have grown into a membership community of 31 foundations from across Europe, working in different areas and parts of the world with the ambition to strengthen progressive philanthropy in  supporting systemic change.

The yearly EDGE Europe retreat is an important convening to consolidate EDGE in Europe in terms of identity, membership, activity planning and governance. The retreat welcomes new members, integrating them in the community with the aim to strengthen EDGE as a political home for progressive foundations and a place to scale up the impact of our grantmaking.

The retreat is a safe space for in-depth discussion, learning and collaboration amongst the members on the role and challenges of philanthropy to address systemic change.

Se invita a los participantes a colaborar en la elaboración del orden del día estableciendo prioridades entre los objetivos y compartiendo propuestas cuando se inscriban en el retiro, lo que ayudará a equilibrar el orden del día en función de los intereses de los miembros.

Participation is open to all EDGE members in Europe, and upon personal invitation. Please get in touch if you are not an EDGE member but would like to attend the retreat. Venue, accommodation and catering are generously covered by the Charles Leopold Mayer Foundation, but a voluntary solidarity contribution to cover organising costs is highly appreciated.

Las plazas son limitadas, así que ¡inscríbete pronto!

Please get in touch with Tobias Troll, EDGE director Europe, if you have any questions!
