The leadership at your fund, the people and organisations you support, and the society you aim to improve, all stand to benefit from the effective use of philanthropic resources. Solving complex societal problems entails collaboration, creativity and the wise application of wealth and knowledge. To work toward system-wide change, your organisation requires a deep understanding of societal needs coupled with local knowhow, a wide array of skills and capabilities, and a network of partners to help you tackle difficult problems and innovate around constraints.
The EVPA community offers your organisation a means to work toward a more effective social economy – to drive and define the industry for the future, and to learn and share practical insights and the tools you need today.
By joining EVPA you enjoy the following membership benefits:
1. Networking
Numerous events throughout the year offer opportunities for you to connect with your peers in the venture philanthropy industry (including grant-giving and social investment) in Europe. Our members produce thought-leadership and ground-breaking research, collaborate with each other and other players in the industry to tackle multi-faceted issues and support social purpose organisations to make a proven impact in their communities.
As a member you are invited to the EVPA Annual Conference, numerous thematic workshops, site visits and country group meetings at reduced or complimentary fees where you can meet, learn, share, and connect for future collaboration! Through the Social Impact Network, the members-only forum where you can connect with other members and discuss VP issues online and in an exclusive setting.

2. Knowledge
Sharing knowledge is a keystone to the EVPA community. The EVPA Knowledge Centre offers you opportunities to share your own knowledge and experience – as a speaker, participant or case study subject – as well as to learn from fellow practitioners and academics. The EVPA Knowledge Centre collects industry data and produces research on best practice, mapping the future of venture philanthropy and social investment. Learn more about the Knowledge Centre.
